I am seeking help for Christmas. I have two children and I am a single parent. Are there any programs to get help anymore?

More than likely you are too late to apply for help. Most of the charities have cut off dates of mid-November. It would also help to know the ages of your kids because most of the charities have age limits of 12-13 years. These conditions are so that they know how to budget their money for Christmas help.
Call the phone number 211, that is a nationwide number that might be able to advise you for your area. It does help to plan ahead, buy one or two items a month and put them away. I have been a single mother, now I am a single great grandmother and still follow that practice. That is the only way I can afford to do Christmas. None of the family gets designer clothes or electronic stuff.
You can try local churches or ask a councilor at your children's school.
