There are over 2,000 families that will apply for Christmas assistance. Our families are as small as single parent homes with one child and as large as two parents and up to 12 children. There is a family that is just waiting to hear from a sponsor that would love to help them make their children’s Christmas holiday just a little brighter.
To sponsor a family, you can:
- Call the Christmas Bureau
- Download and complete the Sponsorship Form and return it to the Christmas Bureau by
- Mail –1416 Skyway Drive, Monroe, NC 28110
- Email – ghaney@co.union.nc.us
- Or in person at the Christmas Bureau at this year’s location
The first step in sponsoring a family is determining what size family you would like to sponsor. This depends on the amount of money you are willing to spend in order to make a family’s Christmas brighter.
We ask that you provide one new clothing outfit per child and at least two toys for each child. For the family, you will need to provide food for their Christmas dinner. You can do this by purchasing the food yourself, or by purchasing a grocery store gift card so that they can do their own shopping.
After you have decided on the size family you want to sponsor, complete the
Sponsorship Form and get it to the Christmas Bureau as quickly as possible. We ask that after you have purchased the family’s food and gift items, that you touch base with the family by December 14th and make arrangements for delivery with the adopted family. We ask that you have the gifts and food delivered by the Saturday before Christmas.
