Christmas Cheer Program

Holiday toy and food assistance program

About

The Christmas Cheer Program, operated by The Salvation Army, aims to bring joy to families facing hardship during the holiday season. They provide essential toys and food to those in need. Families are encouraged to complete an online application to receive assistance, with options available in English, Spanish, and Creole. The program emphasizes a simple, three-step process: application, document upload, and notification for gift and food distribution.
