🎄 This Christmas, You Can Fill a Table… and Fill a Heart.
For many families in our River Valley communities, Christmas isn’t about gifts or lights—it’s about survival. Parents are choosing between keeping the heat on or buying groceries. Teenagers are pretending they don’t want presents so their younger siblings can have something under the tree. And some families are facing a Christmas with no dinner and no way to make it special.
At Help Network, we are seeing more need than ever—families who are working hard, doing everything right, yet still falling short this holiday season.
And this year, we have 17 teenagers in crisis who don’t qualify for Angel Tree or Toys for Tots. They’re too old for traditional programs, but not too old to feel forgotten. Not too old to need joy, dignity, and hope.
This Christmas, you can change that.
Your Gift Gives a Family More Than a Meal—It Gives Them a Christmas.
