What is a Sponsor?
We have all types of sponsors! Most are local, some are churches, other businesses, community groups, or individuals.
There are several ways you can help!
- You can personally shop for one or more children
- You may make a monetary donation towards the Christmas program.
If you choose to personally shop, once you submit this application, we will match you with a Perry County child, or children, depending on the preferences you submit on this application. You may choose the family size. You can request as a sponsor for a certain age range or gender; but please be aware that we can't meet all preferences.
If you would like to shop for multiple children, please consider sponsoring a family.
We will provide you with your child/ren's age, gender, gift ideas and clothing sizes (if they requested clothing) along with that child's reference number for confidentialily.
