Dear Friends,
We are kids first! And it’s time for our annual Christmas Party for homeless and underprivileged children! We are a non-profit organization which provides assistance to under privileged families.
We Do Not Receive any Local, State or Federal Funding. We’ve done this event for over 20 years! Our very small, very grass-roots charity relies solely on donations from friends like you!
Every Christmas, we have a wonderful party for over 300 kids and a group of senior citizens. The party includes lots of food (generously donated from area restaurants), music, and entertainment as well as many, gifts and of course, Santa himself! We ask each child for their individual wishes to make their holiday special. Some ask only for socks.
These families have no resources to provide the "luxury" of a Christmas with gifts. We try to give each and every child at least 2 clothing items, a pair of shoes and 2 toy wishes, as these are the only gifts they will receive.
We decorate our space, and then send All the decorations home with families to bring the holiday spirit into their homes.
Due to our direct relationships with these families, Kids First is able to help children right up until Christmas Day!
Last year, with the help of many generous people, we brought Christmas joy to over 600 kids!
Please know that your participation can help a family right up to the last minute of the holiday season. In this time of economic turmoil, this will be a very challenging year for many, as we have had many calls from families in need of food.
Our hope is that you will choose to be a part of this meaningful program. A donation to help us with gifts and decorations is all we are asking of you.
We will be taking donations at any time, and will be in need of volunteer help all day
Saturday, December 12th from 1:00 p.m. until midnight at;
Sharon Presbyterian Church, 5201 Sharon Road.
Please consider this request as the children so look forward to the party and there are so many families in our community depending on us.
All tax deductible donations are very much appreciated and can be mailed to:
Kids First
Thank you for helping make a difference!
