Our 2019 campaign was our largest ever. We had a wonderful experience working with the 
The Little Servant Sisters of The Immaculate Conception whose Edmund Early Education school ran a Giving Tree to benefit the families of Project Christmas. 
We ended up bringing in so many donations that we took up one 25'x30' outdoor unit, one 15'x25' outdoor unit and one 10'x15' inside unit that were COMPLETELY full by the time pickups and deliveries started. These units cost a total of $1600 a month from Nov-January. For the first time ever, we had to keep the 15'x25' unit all year to contain items donated after the distribution in December 2019. The Evans family paid for the cost of these units. 

We managed to take care of 19 families that were sponsored (fully assisted in all categories), but we also were able to assist more than 45 additional families who were on our standby list. We opened our storage units in the five days leading up to Christmas, at which time we handed out toys, gifts, toiletries and household items - allowing most of our standby families to collect donations for their kids to have a good Christmas as well. 


We delivered over 230 rolls of wrapping paper, nine full sized Christmas trees and four small ones, two frozen turkeys, twenty six boxes of food and three HUGE storage units filled with clothing and gifts!

In the month after Christmas, we delivered maternity clothing and baby supplies to four families who were expecting babies in the months after Christmas, as well as 62 boxes of clothing packed for the families who needed them.
