Christmas for Kids helps Innisfil families at Christmas by providing them with:
- Turkey
- Food (enough to last over the holidays)
- A small gift certificate to buy perishables for Christmas Dinner
- Gifts for each child. We try to give gifts geared to the child’s interests.
We know that Christmas can be a stressful time for families if they have limited financial resources. We try to take the pressure off families. All of our clients are treated with respect; all information is kept confidential. Innisfil has many generous residents who want to help at Christmas.
