Announcment From the Patrick County Christmas Cheer Committee
January 5, 2014
The Patrick County Christmas Cheer Committee would like to thank everyone who supported our mission of helping local families provide gifts to their children during the holidays. Through your generous support, the Christmas Cheer program provided items for 267 families and 510 children. Recipients of the program received a complete warm outfit, age-appropriate toys, and a food bag from Lowes Foods.
Whether you chose to specifically shop for an individual child, donated a toy through the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve Toys for Tots program, or provided a monetary donation, please know your generous gift impacted a child in our community. Many families expressed their sincere gratitude when they picked up their gifts and food bag. Through your support hope was renewed for many families.
Every penny received goes to the children and families of Patrick County. The Christmas Cheer program is run through 100% volunteer time and commitment and we continually seek to make the program more effective. It is never too early to donate and we are accepting monetary donations to meet the rising needs for the 2014 campaign and beyond. Through you, we can provide those in need with a wonderful Holiday that includes warm clothes, toys, and food.
Your continued support is appreciated more than you can imagine. Please know that you were a big part of providing their joy and happiness on Christmas morning. Again, we would like to thank all you for your generosity.
