Families in Need Christmas Drive
We supply gifts and food for families in the Brunswick community every Christmas Eve.
More than 10 years ago, we adopted a single family through a local elementary school to purchase gifts and provide groceries for Christmas. We were overjoyed by how much it meant to the family and still think back fondly of that experience. Over the years, it has grown from one family, to five, then ten, and now over the last eight years we have touched over 425 local families. We network with local school counselors from the 7 elementary and 3 middle schools here in Brunswick, Ohio.
These families are not out seeking help, we have inquired and identified them along with help from the school counselors. Most of our sponsored families are comprised of hardworking people just like each of us. Some of the children have lost their parents and live with other family members, live in foster care, or live with other guardians. We have come to understand that these collective families have just hit a rough patch in the road, one which we are just looking to ease the financial stress around Christmas for these families.
We supply gifts and food for each of these families and deliver around the entire city on Christmas Eve. If you are interested in volunteering in the Families in Need Christmas Drive, fill out the contact form below!
