Christmas for Kids

What it is

Every child deserves a happy holiday

Christmas for Kids is open to families in the Hudson School District who need a little help making the holidays happy. Generous sponsors provide gifts and other items, matched to families who sign up each season.

Last year, the program provided gifts for 502 children in 205 families, thanks entirely to the community that shows up every December.

"My kids woke up to a Christmas I could not have given them on my own. I will never forget that morning."

"Sponsoring a family became our favorite tradition. We think about those kids all year, and December can't come soon enough."
