Plans for Project Christmas Cheer 2023 are well underway! Kim Daugherty and Susie Wetzel, along with their team of volunteers, have been working since January to secure food and hygiene items for families, along with small gifts for children to distribute this Christmas season. This year their distribution date is Tuesday, December 5th, and they have already begun signing up families at the Samaritan Center.
In 2022, through the generosity of all of you, they helped almost 700 families, which was over 1400 people. This year they are expecting to help more than 750 families, or over 1500 people. Project Christmas Cheer helps more people at one time than any other project in Henry County and has been doing so for close to 40 years. It is possible only because of the time, money, and effort the citizens of Henry County are willing to contribute. Thank you for all you have done in the past and we hope you will be able to help us this year as well.
Checks can be made payable to Project Christmas Cheer and sent directly to the Samaritan Center at 1317 S. 2nd Street in Clinton. Any amount is truly appreciated. If you would like to help with food items, please call Kim at 660-924-1136 or Susie at 660-885-1199 and we can let you know an item to collect.
