I know, I know, how can we be planning Christmas before Halloween has even happened?

Heres why!

We need you!

This year we are celebrating with over 2,500+ children that are in our network. That means, that we are celebrating 2,500+ children who are enrolled in school, attending our programs and have chosen to better their lives.

The villages:

This will be a 3 day event! Each day we will celebrate with the different schools where the kids will come with their teachers to our community center. Each room (7 + field games) a different interactive activity that will leave them with a bag of gifts to take home as well as their bellies filled.

They will hear the Nativity story and will be given a “movie” ticket to invite their family to come back later in the month to watch different Christmas movies and hear the Christmas story for themselves.

The homes:

Each home will have Christmas specified to their request! Some will be receiving extra diapers and milk, where other homes have requested respite for their directors where our staff will come and stay overnight, and do “Christmas eve + Christmas day” with the children. Lots of tamales, karaoke, crafts, pancake feed, the Nativity story and of coarse gifts.

Who knows, Santa may even make an appearance again!

Why we need YOU:

With 2,500+ children, our costs reach upwards of $15,000 to put on all these events, something we cannot do without your help!
