Children’s Holiday Help
Registered Fishline clients* can sign up for Children’s Holiday Help between December 2nd through December 6th during our market hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 11am – 4pm; Tuesday and Thursday, 10am – 7pm.
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.
