Christmas Giving
This year, and every year, we want Christmas wishes to come true!
Community Care requires significant financial support to deliver the programs and services that assist community members who face insecurity. If you are able, please consider donating to help us ensure everyone experiences a little joy this holiday season.
We strive to make sure that tummies are filled, beds are kept warm, lights are kept on, many shelter needs are met, and hope that families can enjoy a Christmas dinner with presents under the tree. We can only do this through the thoughtfulness and generosity of people like you. It is our hope that you will partner with us in making Christmas wishes come true – together, we can go far!
