After having many discussions within our group, checking our financial capabilities, and reviewing our ability to obtain toys for our Christmas Giveaway for Kids, we feel we are no longer able to do what we have done in the past years.
Therefore, this year we are collaborating with The Hope Chest and will be helping with their Toy Giveaway in December.
The Sign-Up time for The Hope Chest will be held the first week of December. You will need to go in sometime that week and bring the Birth Certificate for each one of your children. They will be holding their giveaway the week before Christmas. They haven't set the date yet, but will let you know as soon as they do.
We are very sorry that we can no longer do this on our own, but The Hope Chest has a wonderful Giving Program.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for participating with our Program over the years.
May your Christmas be Merry this year!!

Welcome to 2025!!!
The Women's Association hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year with family and friends.

At this time, we would like to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to every business and individuals who helped make our "2024 Christmas For Kids" Program a huge success. We helped 110 children (39 families) have a merry Christmas with presents under their trees.

And many various individuals.

Without your generosity, we would not have been able to help these families.

God Bless!
