Organizing toys and hygiene supplies

Using community goodwill and contributions, the Holiday Cheer program offers aid to local families with children who need assistance and cheer during the holiday season. To qualify, recipients must be at or below 300% of the poverty level (see this chart for specific income levels for 2024) in West Benton County and the surrounding region.

The program provides gifts to children 0 – 18 years of age. Gift cards, decorations, and the opportunity to have items wrapped are provided for their families. In 2023, the program served 78 households including 205 children! This program aims to make the holidays just a little happier for each of the lives it touches.
