158 families. 427 children.

That’s the amount of people we have been able to impact over the last nine years of operating our Holiday Helpers program. We were very excited to go over 100 families served in the 2021 Holiday Helpers campaign. We are looking forward to celebrating a few more milestones in 2022 as we anticipate we will surpass 300 children served in the 10th year of our campaign.

We work with the Greenville, Michigan school district and Montcalm CASA to help us identify children and families in need. Each organization provides us with a profile for each child. The profile includes the child’s age, clothing and shoe size, favorite color, and what they are hoping to receive for Christmas.

A $100 donation allows us to sponsor a child. That money allows us to provide them with a new winter coat, several new outfits, and multiple items off of their wish list. Some wishes we have been able to fulfill in the past include board games, “Our Generation” dolls, Bluetooth headphones, book series, Lego sets, art and science kits, V-tech laptops, math puzzle books, Nerf guns, sports equipment, Xbox video games, and remote control cars.
