As you continue to celebrate the holiday season know that many precious girls and boys in the tri-state will wake up with presents under the tree because of YOUR generosity. The need was apparent for so many of our neighbors this season. It has been another challenging year, and so many are suffering.

THE 47TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS WISH SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE

'Tis the season to be jolly! Because of your efforts and generosity, 2,038 families received Christmas. 8,252 children had presents under the tree, and over 50,000 gifts were handed out this holiday season. It was a wild ride, but because of your help, we got it done. We thank EVERYONE who donated, held fundraisers, volunteered, and supported the mission.

Thanks to The Daviess County Lion's Club & Riverpark Eyecare, we even gifted an eye exam and glasses to a 76-year-old Grandma. And, because of SparKy, a grieving family got a puppy for Christmas. Check out the story HERE.
