Christmas Project                 

The Christmas 'Make A Wish' program lasts about five months.  It begins by having volunteers solicit gifts of food, clothing and toys from area sponsors.  One then shops for the remaining wishes with contributions, wrap and distribute such items to needy families during the holidays.  This all begins in September and lasts well into January.
