CAPCIL announces Holiday Hearts for Kids

[December 02, 2020]    Community Action Partnership for Central Illinois wants to end 2020 by spreading Christmas cheer to kids in their service area. Their Holiday Hearts for Kids campaign in going on now through December 4, 2020.

The campaign will provide gifts for children in need through donations collected by generous community members and organizations. A variety of sponsorship levels are available. The ability to make a monetary donation of your choice is also an option.

Sponsorship levels include: Christmas Elf for $50, Christmas Santa for $100, Christmas Angel for $150 and Christmas Mystery is for donor’s choice.

For each $50 donated, one child will receive a gift ($50 value) this Christmas. All gifts will be purchased by CAPCIL staff and volunteers with the funds collected through donations. Parents will be scheduled for shopping days at CAPCIL’s Central Office in Lincoln mid-December.

This year has been extremely challenging for everyone especially for low income families and those that experienced financial hardships due to the pandemic. “Holidays are a peak time for joy for so many of us, but for our low-income families it often means unthinkable stress.

 The heartbreak of not being able to provide your child a gift is completely overwhelming. Please give if you are in the position to give.” Said CAPCIL Executive Director, Alison Rumler-Gomez.
