What is Project Christmas?
Started in 2018 by a passionate local couple to help just one family, Project Christmas has now brightened the lives of over 205 families! This incredible community-driven initiative is all about spreading joy and support during the holiday season. It focuses on delivering gifts and essential resources to deserving families in need, making sure everyone can bask in the warmth and spirit of Christmas. Thanks to generous donations and dedicated volunteers, Project Christmas brings together individuals and organizations to create a truly positive impact in our local communities!
