Charities To Help With Christmas |

I have noticed many readers asking for monetary help with Christmas. Please don't think I'm being insensitive. 20 Years ago, I was that person too. There are several agencies that can help you. Please check with your local Salvation Army agency, they put on a toy program that you can sign up for. You get to choose some new and some gently used items along with clothing items too. Check with your local churches and food pantries. Public aid offices may be able to give you some guidance on programs. Our schools also know which families are have a bit more need than others. Food share programs and angel ministries can assist you with groceries. The local township supervisor or mayor can also help. I wish you all the best.

I would like to give feedback to those who keep saying "go to the salvation army" or to the "red cross". Unless you are in this position and know what is going on, then you need to know that a lot of these agencies don't have the program due to lack of donations. The demand is EXTREMELY higher than usual.

I agree that share is a generous deal.
The food is better than I could afford otherwise. The food is very fresh and of top quality.

I cant say enough good things about SHARE. It is for everyone regardless of their income. The food is good, generous and nutritious. You pay for it, but get far more than you would in the grocery store for that amount of money especially around holiday time. IN my area a college administrator, a college professor, and a church secretary all partake in the benefits of this program. I heartily recommend it.
I did a Google search under SHARE food program for my state.
warm regards,
Carol in PA
