Again this Christmas Season, Fishline Foodbank and Comprehensive Services will be offering our “Christmas Child” program. We invite the community to join us in making the holidays special for families in North Kitsap and help fulfill Christmas wishes for our local children and youth. Without the community’s help many children may not otherwise experience the holiday spirit of gifts.
The Christmas Child program provides parents an opportunity to list 3 wishes and 3 needs on a holiday gift tag. These tags are distributed throughout the community on Giving Trees at local businesses and churches. Shoppers choose a tag, purchase items from the list and return them unwrapped to the tree where they found the tag. Fishline collects and distributes the gifts to the families. Last year nearly 400 children were recipients of holiday gifts through the Christmas Child program. We also encourage gifting experiences aligned with the child’s interests.
Giving Trees go up Monday, Nov. 25 and gifts are due back at their locations December 9th.
