Children's Angel Tree - December 16th, 2024
Many in our community face hardship all year, which can make the holidays difficult. To help make the holidays special while taking the stress off of local families, we partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters to organize an Angel Tree.
How it works:
- Children in our Youth Program and from Big Brothers Big Sisters submit gift wish lists
- Community members and supporters adopt wish lists, purchase gifts, and donate them back to Neighborhood House
- Neighborhood House distributes them to the families in the program before Christmas
Important Dates:
- Last Day to Adopt a Child or Family – 11/22
- Deadline for Gift Donation – 12/9
- Gift Pickup for Families – 12/16
If you are interested in adopting a child or family or have any additional questions, contact Nah Palm at noahp@nhpeoria.org or 309-674-1131 ext. 243
