Objective: We sponsor between 20 and 25 children from our area who are in need. We provide their family with groceries, new clothing and shoes for the children, Christmas gifts matching their wish list, and in some cases, eyeglasses and other needs. The Division is also one of the largest Seasonal Contributors to the Greenwood Salvation Army/Samaritan Services. By contributing to this, as well, we are reaching more families throughout the entire year.
If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact the chairperson above.
