Christmas Hamper Program

“Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful hamper you gave to my children and myself at Christmas. It meant the world to know that we are not alone.” ~Hamper Recipient

Dear Friends,

Thank you to our existing donors for your past support and a warm welcome to our new donors! We hope you will join us in spreading some Christmas cheer to our clients this year.
