Community Action hosts "Holiday Hearts for Kids 2.0"

 

[November 06, 2021] 

The Community Action Partnership for Central Illinois wants to spread Christmas cheer to kids in their service area. 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 visit the website (capcil.info) for contactless online payment options or by mailing a check to CAPCIL c/o Holiday Hearts for Kids 1800 5th Street Lincoln, Illinois 62656.
