"Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story . . ." - Josh Shipp

As we reach the end of 2023, will you join all the caring, loving adults who have stepped up to make a difference in the lives of children, families and seniors in our area this year?

Those who are impacted by poverty have so many different stories:

*Meet Milton. The 16 year old who is the sole breadwinner in his household. He came to the Holiday Shop with his mother and

14-year-old sister. Momma is in a wheelchair, on dialysis, and has other medical needs. Milton is a responsible young man, and already taking care of his family. He made sure his family was able to make it to Shop to get some things they need. What a GREAT Christmas we were able to provide for this deserving family!
