Holidays are wonderful times for most children, particularly the Christmas season. However, some children are not so fortunate, living under conditions of economic hardship that makes holiday joy seem elusive.
Fortunately, there is a special organization dedicated to helping children in need have a joyful holiday experience – Christmas 4 Kids (C4K). Since 1982, C4K has worked year-round to help over 12,000 children enjoy the holidays by providing them with a special day that begins with a party and ends with a Christmas shopping spree.
“C4K represents the best of the holiday season,” says C4K President Linda O’Connell. “Every child deserves a happy Christmas, and our organization is dedicated to achieving that goal.”
While activities peak during the fall, C4K staff and volunteers work throughout the year to coordinate many moving pieces, including fundraising, artists and venues. People interested in volunteering for C4K can apply online at Christmas4Kids.org.
