Owensboro’s ‘Christmas Wish’ Program Now Accepting Letters from KY and IN for 2024
Let the holiday season begin! Here at WBKR, we're gearing up for the 48th season of Christmas Wish. Since the 1970s, we (and our trusty band of hard-working elves) have been working diligently to make certain that every child in the Tristate gets a visit from Santa Claus each year.
A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR
In 2023, Christmas Wish provided holiday gifts for 2,038 families. We served a total of 8,252 children. It was a record-breaking year and it took a village to make that possible with generous donations, an immense amount of volunteer support, and the commitment of our community to rally around those who need our assistance.
Well, Santa and the elves are ready to do it again. In fact, Friday, November 1st marks the official start of Christmas Wish letter submissions.
WHERE IS THE CHRISTMAS WISH OFFICE THIS YEAR?
The 2024 Christmas Wish office will be in the same location it has been the last few years- in the former Shoe Stop site at Towne Square North- sandwiched between Buffalo Wild Wings and Big Lots.
The Christmas Wish office will open to the public on Monday, December 2nd. Between then and Christmas Eve, our legion of volunteers will be creating holiday magic for thousands of kids in western Kentucky and southern Indiana. Between now and the 2nd, we're accepting Wish letters.
If you know a child whose family is in need, here's what you need to do.
HOW TO SUBMIT A CHRISTMAS WISH LETTER
If you know a family with a 2024 Christmas Wish, you can let us know all about them here! It's imperative that you fill out the form completely and provide us with as much information possible about the family's situation and the children in need.
