Wayne County Childrens Christmas Bureau

“October of 2016 we announced and advertised our program. We invited residents of Wayne County to sign up if they were in need of assistance. During signup week we assisted more than 200 families in filling out a form which lists basic information about the family including a brief description of their needs. Once the list was compiled, we then assigned each family to a large group of volunteer shoppers. The shoppers have approximately 3 weeks to shop for the children on their lists. All gifts were returned and sorted out for distribution to the parent's during the last week of November. On distribution day families come to pickup their packages specifically purchased for their children. Once they arrive, they also have a chance to walk through and select any gently used items of clothing and toys which have been collected, sorted and compiled over the year.”
