Christmas Assistance
We do not offer Christmas Assistance to women and children who are not actively participating in our Fresh Start for Single Mothers Fall - Winter 2013 program. We have served 929 families and 1652 children since 2006. We simply cannot open up this benevolence to the public due to the volume of families we serve already.
