What is Christmas Giving?
This program serves financially disadvantaged families in Neenah and Menasha by providing clothing and gifts so they may experience a memorable Christmas. The Christmas Giving program was able to provide gifts to more than 950 children last year thanks to the generosity of the community, volunteers, and staff. Dolls, bikes, clothing, sporting goods, books, blankets, and more helped provide a brighter holiday for families in need. Mittens and caps knitted by the hands of many dedicated and talented volunteer knitters kept little hands and heads warm during the winter. We continue to provide this service to those with children from birth to age 18 who live in Neenah and Menasha. Families are referred to the Christmas Giving program by health and human service departments, schools, churches, and other youth organizations.
