Who we are

Our Team of Angels

We are a small, dedicated team of volunteer angels working with several local business partners to offer a variety of projects to families in our community.

Our volunteer Board of Directors work together with our seasonal Coordinator to create and manage our seasonal programming. Our volunteer Angels are committed to making sure that families and children have less stress and more joy at Christmas.

Who needs us?

The working poor. The “forgotten” families. Families who are temporarily out of work, out of luck, out of money.

Christmas can be a financial and emotional burden. We respect the dignity of the parents and families; we don’t judge, and we don’t condemn.

Impact stories

"Being a Wishbook recipient was the start of a happy time of HOPE for my family, to see a smile on my kids' faces when things were hard for us."

Wishbook Recipient

"...As to why we support the Wishbook, we all live or grew up in the community and love supporting this cause as most of us also have children of our own. If things were different we would hope that people would support the cause if we had to use the Wishbook or the Christmas Angels. We also love the fact that funds raised for Christmas Angels stays right here in our community. "

Wishbook Donor

"I know people think families with older children shouldn't need help because kids should understand... my kids do understand and for that reason they don't ask for large price items... but sometimes even just the few simple items they want we cannot do."

Program Recipient

"I was very afraid and didn't know where to turn or how to cope with not having any money for Christmas. I felt lost and weak inside and out. This program helped me with not only gifts for my children and things for me as well, but with hugs and emotional support when I most needed it. "
