Christmas in the City 2024 is in full swing!

The holiday season is finally here and operations at Christmas in the City are in FULL swing! Our team – made up of 100% volunteers – is all hands on deck to work to give back to our community members in need this season.  Here’s a little look at what we are planning and how we can use your help:

100% goes to kids and families

We do 100% of everything with volunteers, because being all-volunteer ensures that 100% of our donations go to those we support. We love our volunteers, and they tend to love us back. We know this because many of our group, corporate, and individual volunteers return again and again.

I love helping families understand that no matter what life is throwing at you HOPE is not that far and can come in different shapes, forms and colors.
