Their Holiday Hearts for Kids campaign in going on
now through December 4, 2021. The campaign will provide gifts for
children in need through donations collected by generous community
members and organizations. This is the second year for the campaign
with this year including a goal to serve 50 children. In 2020,
CAPCIL was able to provide gifts for 35 children. A variety of
sponsorship levels are available. The ability to make a monetary
donation of your choice is also an option.
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.
The last two years have 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.
If you are interested in making a donation to Holiday Hearts for Kids, please
