FAQS:
How can I apply to have my child or children on the list?
You can start by filling out the online form if you are a current or former Blessing Bag client. You can find the application here, which can be filled out each October for the current year.
How you determine which kids will be on your list each year?
Each October, families that use our blessing bags each month must apply to the Christmas4Kids program. In addition to applying, each family must provide pay-stubs and checking account statement proving they are at or below the poverty line. Applications for this year care currently closed.
Can I put my kids on this years Christmas4Kids program?
Unfortunately, no, but you can apply next October when we open our enrollment to families that we support. The families that we work with use our blessing bags on a regular basis and those that apply must meet our financial requirements. Additionally, you must be a family that uses our normal Blessing Bags on a regular basis.
Many families that use our Blessing Bag Program have been waiting to get into the Christmas4Kids Program.
