What is a Sponsor?
We have a diverse range of sponsors, including individuals, churches, businesses, community groups, and more. Here are several ways you can contribute:
- Personal Shopping for Children: You can choose to personally shop for one or more children. After submitting your application, we will match you with a child or children from Perry County based on your preferences. Please specify the family size.
- Monetary Donations: You can make a monetary donation toward the Christmas program.
Personal Shopping Checklist:
