Our first year we delivered 190 Christmas Eve boxes to 3 different agencies. The last two years, we delivered 250 boxes to 4 agencies! Our goal this year remains at 250 and we will also be including families who are "at risk" for separation! We have partnered with Heritage Children Services, Benchmark Family Services, and Necco Therapeutic Foster Care. These are therapeutic foster care agencies, which receive referrals for “harder to place” youth, including those with more severe trauma histories, teens, and sibling groups. We continue to add new things to their boxes each year so that these children receive different gifts than last year. Did you know… our founder and executive director has been a foster parent to over 16 children & has adopted 3?! AND three of our board members have been or are currently foster/ adoptive parents, also!!! When we say we are raising money to gift children in foster care, it is personal for our agency! It takes only $20 to sponsor one youth with a gift this year! Additional money raised will be used to add to their gift bags!! The deadline for donations this year will be December 1, 2024. We will also have a volunteer day where you will be able to come help us make and deliver boxes— Date TBD!
Ways to donate: Our website (actionky.org) Venmo (@actioninc), Facebook donations, PayPal @ paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/4066786
