Chris Kueblerat Childrens Christmas Programs
For the past couple of years, Candace has been grateful for our Children’s Christmas Programs (CCP), as it allowed her to provide Christmas joy for her children. As a family with a single income, due to medical issues, CCP has made a significant difference in their household.
“Especially the last couple of years… It makes a huge difference when it’s just my husband working. My kids always absolutely loved everything we got for them, and they love when I get them books. My 14-year-old is really into drawing a lot right now, so I got him one of those creative art kits and Legos… he’s going to love it!”
Last year the program also aided her niece’s three children who unexpectedly had to stay with Candace for a few months over the holidays.
“It was a week before Christmas, and I’m like; send them to me, I’ll take them. I don’t have a lot, but we’ll take them in…”
She credits how she was raised for her sense of generosity and helping others in need. She also recognizes how much of a blessing a program like CCP is for families like hers.
Candace is just one of the many families CCP has helped this year. Distributing over 13,307 gifts so far this year to 1,901 children, holiday joy is being spread throughout Newaygo County.
