From ArticleWorld


There are many families in need, around the Christmas holiday the numbers double, and in some communities the numbers can even triple.

Finding an Organization

There are Organizations that can help find people to help the underprivileged in providing Christmas for their children. Parents of these children seek the assistance of others to make their children happy on Christmas morning.

  • The first step in finding families in need, get out the telephone book and look up charities. There are a lot of them in every town.

Contact the local churches. They know their congregation and who will need help.

  • If you really want to find families in needs, visit local hospital's pediatric wards. Here you will find sick and injured children who need the goodwill and Christmas spirit in a time of great sadness for them. For a child who is gravely ill, a person who "Plays Santa" will bring a much need sigh of relief to both the child and the parents. Often when a child is in the hospital long term, the financial burden can be overwhelming in its enormity.

Foster Care

Another agency that can be contacted is the local welfare agencies. These are the agencies that place children in foster homes. The people who take these children in have big hearts and a love of children, but sometimes the allotments that they receive are just not enough to provide for Christmas presents.

Foster parents welcome the chance to put smiles on the faces of the children who so desperately need the love and kindness that they do not receive at home.

  • If all you want to do is to donate canned good, contacting local food pantries and soup kitchens can direct you to the drop off centers that are located all over cities and towns.
