Christmas Basket Project: An Overview

We are preparing for our annual Christmas Basket Project. Each year, this project provides food and gifts to up to 160 needy families from the area. Last Christmas, we were able to assist approximately 650 adults and children locally. The project organizers rely on the generous contributions of the community to support this tremendous endeavor. Approximately $10,000 needs to be raised for baskets and toys.

How to Apply for a Christmas Basket

Beginning Monday, November 26th thru Monday, December 10th, project organizers will be accepting applications for Christmas baskets. If you need to apply for a Christmas basket, you must call and leave a message on the basket hotline (363-6080). This is the only way to apply for a basket. Please do not call any other numbers or leave multiple messages.

Volunteers Needed for Project

The baskets will be put together and distributed on December 14–16th, 2018. Volunteers are needed to assist with the weekend of Christmas Baskets. For more information, please contact Carol Smith, Project Coordinator at 410-0504. Thank you for your generosity!
