Every year, thanks to the generosity of area churches, schools, and philanthropic groups, HCS Family Services provides holiday gifts to individuals and families who rely on our food pantries and do not have the means to purchase gifts for themselves or their children. More than 800 individuals are helped through our Holiday Gift Assistance Program each year.
Who is eligible to receive gifts in 2020?
If you received food from one of our food pantries at least once between January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, you are eligible to apply for holiday assistance.
How do I apply for holiday assistance?
Applications will be available starting October 13, 2020, and ending October 23, 2020.
