Holiday Giving Program 2015

There are many reasons to enjoy the upcoming holidays. For the youth of The

Children's Home, the holidays mean a direct connection with the support and

generosity of the community through our annual Holiday Giving Program.

The Children¡¯s Home is a residential facility for youth in out-of-home

placement due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment.

Individuals, families, organizations, and corporations participate to make this

holiday season joyful for the residents in our care. We invite you to experience

the joy of giving to children and youth who have experienced difficulties in

their lives.

Each year donors to the Holiday Giving Program provide gifts and/or activities

for the many boys and girls who call The Children¡¯s Home their home as well

as the children in our Treatment Foster Care Program. Residents at The

Children's Home range in age from 13 to 21. Ages vary for our Treatment

Foster Care program. If you want to purchase specific gifts for specific
