“Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.” ~Ruth Carter Stapleton 

In years past, your participation in Christmas Blessings has impacted the lives of local children. Last year alone, 92 children experienced the joy and wonder of a Christmas with gifts they were excited to receive because of  your generosity and investment. Since you have made such an impact, we wanted to share some words of gratitude from their parents.

Thank you – for the way you have shown these families Love In the Name of Christ.
“Christmas has been quite amazing, because Love INC has been able to help us with things that I personally can never afford to be able to give to my children. It’s almost like Santa Claus is real because I put every gift from Love INC from Santa, because they are Santa. They’re our angels.” ~Family with two children

“The Christmas experience was fun, it was exciting. The kids enjoyed everything that they got for Christmas. It was great because we know what our kids want so we had the opportunity to do the shopping for our children with the volunteers. It has been a blessing. Without that, it could have been pretty rough, so we appreciate it.” ~Family with six children

“For me to be able to continue the Santa tradition, in this world of – I guess hopelessness, but unhappiness at least – to be able to keep a little spark of magic for my kids is amazing. You guys have enabled me to do that and that’s been awesome. And it also has allowed us to open the conversation for, I use the term “Santa” with them, but I tell them, Santa blesses us, we need to bless others. I use it as a teaching tool to work on their generosity and their giving as well. Its been a blessing to our family for sure.”  ~Family with three children

“They help a lot. There’s a lot of stuff I was not thinking about. Being a single parent, you don’t think about getting the tree and putting ornaments on it. Having five kids means having a load of laundry every day and you just want to cook and clean and sometimes you don’t realize things are happening around you. You get unmotivated and sometimes you miss something here and there. It helps to have people asking me what I’m going to do for decorations. Receiving the gifts from the shopping puts a smile on the kids faces and it helps unburden your financial stuff. It also helps to know there are people out there who genuinely care about you and are wishing you well.” ~Family with five children

“Christmas Blessings is a great experience. There was a time where I felt like I was not going to be able to do anything for my kids for Christmas, and Love INC came and they shared their love and they went out and gave my kids the best Christmas that they could ever imagine.” ~Family with four children
