Community Action started the 'Holiday Hearts for Kids' giving program back in 2020 as the COVID pandemic impacted families across the six-county service area of the non-profit.

It was so successful the agency continued it in the years after COVID and it continues into 2023. Breann Titus is the Director of Agency Development for Community Action and indicates this program runs on the support of its communities to support underprivileged kids.

Anyone in need is welcome to be a part of this program. Titus says it is as easy as giving your local Community Action office a call to get signed up. If you are a community member that wants to support this program, they ask you make a cash donation so they can buy toys for the kids in the program. 

According to Titus, Community Action staffers go out and shop and then come back and some volunteers help wrap gifts and get them ready to distribute in early December.

If you'd like more information on this program, Titus directs you to visit capcil.info or find Community Action on Facebook for more information.
