Bringing Christmas to Families in Need- 2020
Donation protected
Since 2015, Project Christmas has supported families across South Jersey in need at the holidays. Starting with just one family of 6 people in need, we quickly realized the potential of our small family project. In 2019, we served 165 people from over 60 families - providing food, clothing, coats & winter gear, Christmas decor (trees, lights, ornaments, etc) as well as Gifts & Gift Wrap for as many families as was possible. Our project had grown to such depths by 2019, that we spent the entire month of January still distributing clothing and food to families in need.
We know that with the current state of the world, more families than ever before are struggling. Our family has funded 100% of the costs associated with running Project Christmas each year (last year, we spent thousands of dollars on 3 storage units - as well as all costs associated with gas & transport of all donations both pickup & distribution; we've been greatly impacted by Covid-19 as well; and the fate of this year's project will have everything to do with the support we are able to recieve from the community. We ask you to give what you can- knowing that everyone is struggling right now. Our aim is to help prevent children from having to feel even more loss and anxiety this holiday season. We thank you sincerely for ANYTHING you are able to contribute.
