CHRISTMAS GIFT OF HOPE PROGRAM
The HOPE Center Christmas Gift of HOPE Program is an annual sponsorship opportunity that assists families with gifts for their children and winter necessities over the holiday season. Each year, with your help, we are able to give over 350 local families a merry Christmas.
“You feel a sense of belonging that you’re a part of the community just by someone reaching out and helping you.
HOPE Center is the group that brought Christmas to my family 19 years ago. They provided a lot of gifts and other services. In particular I got a doll house that I remember most of anything. And for a child, that lights up their day and is something they never forget.
We will be sponsoring children through the HOPE Center. So it’s a full circle of how you change one person’s life and that can triple just by you helping one child, one mother, or one family.”
