Care for Kids Christmas

Hope for Every Heart, A Gift For Every Child

Helping Families in Stone and Taney Counties

Care for Kids Christmas, a project of the Silver Dollar City Foundation and Branson's
Hometown Radio in conjunction with Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC), is a drive to
provide new toys and gift items for area kids of all ages to make their Christmas brighter.

The goal is to collect and distribute enough gifts this holiday season
for every child in need - a message that our community cares!

The Need

In the current challenging economy, more families than ever are struggling to provide the basics, with little left over for Christmas gifts for their kids. Love INC, which handled applications for assistance from 800 area families with 2,000 kids last year, anticipates 40 percent more applications this year. Care for Kids Christmas hopes to provide gifts for nearly 3,000 area kids this year.

How to Help

Donate a new toy or gift item for a child, from infants to age 18. Bring the unwrapped gifts to one of three area collection points between November 23 and December 14. Gifts will be distributed December 16-18.

OR make a cash donation. Drop off cash donations with Toni Whitted at the Hometown Radio office, 202 Courtney Street, Branson (Please make checks payable to Love INC).

You may also donate online through PayPal. Funds will be used to purchase gifts:

All cash donations are tax deductible.
