Our Commitment

  • All board members are volunteers.

  • All referrals come from cooperating social service and public agencies. No personal applications are accepted.

  • All recipients remain anonymous unless otherwise agreed upon.

  • All money is distributed — typically 98% — using a pre-approved formula based on the funds raised and divided by the number of referrals.

  • Distribution of gifts is by check with no strings attached, allowing the recipients to decide for themselves how the funds are used.

“No words can express my appreciation towards this organization and your generosity.  Emotions always fill my eyes when receiving your gift in the mail because it always, always, comes in the time of need!  I am happy to tell you that these funds went to purchasing warm clothes/socks for all 3 of my children!  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide for my children and keep them warm during these cold days!”
