Through our Adopt-A-Child program, we provide gifts and essential items to children and families who have received services through The Children’s House Child Advocacy Center (CHCAC) at our annual Christmas 4 Kids event.
This heartfelt event brings joy and hope to children who have experienced trauma, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and celebrated during the holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of our community and corporate partners, each child receives a holiday to remember.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back and brighten a child’s life during a difficult time, we invite you to get involved.
Contact the CHCAC Family Advocate at 570-265-4132 to learn more.
