Children’s Holiday Help

In December 2023, 380 children received gifts due to the generosity of North Kitsap residents and businesses. We anticipate serving more families in 2024!

Through the Children’s Holiday Help program (formerly Christmas Child) parents will receive “Holiday Bucks” to be used at local shops. This program helps both businesses in North Kitsap as well as families in the community.

How do I sign up?

Parents who live or work full-time in the North Kitsap School District, Bangor Base, or be experiencing homelessness are eligible. The Children must be enrolled in the North Kitsap School District. Each family will receive $100 in Holiday Bucks per qualified child to spend at the participating local businesses below. Please see the guidelines below.
