Christmas for the Children is a Christian based, not for profit organization that provides less fortunate children and their families an opportunity to have a Christmas that might not otherwise be possible.  A few days before Christmas, all the children are transported by entertainers’ buses to Rivergate to shop for a three hour shopping spree!  On Christmas Eve, each family also receives a prepared Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, along with several family gifts.

 In the last ten years, Christmas for the Children has grown from helping 50 children in 1999 to assisting over 250 children in 2008.  Since its inception, over 2000 children and 800 families have enjoyed a Christmas that might not have been possible.
