Christmas 4 Kids 24 hour Remote

      Christmas 4 Kids is a non-profit organization that works through the local school system to identify children ages 16 years and under. Without the help from others, these children might not find anything under the Christmas tree this year.

      Christmas 4 Kids was founded about 30 years ago by people just like you wanting to make a difference in the communities in White County. With the five businesses in the beginning this program has grown to include over 30 businesses and individuals willing to help in many other ways. Through the efforts of all involved, this organization has helped over 3,100 children the last four years. With your help, we would like to see the continued growth of this program to help many more children.

      Through the Santa Sock program, fundraisers and the donations from caring people of this community, we all work together to make Christmas morning special for as many children as possible.

    Stop at one of our Santa stops at the end of October or the first week of November and pick up a stocking. These stockings have a child's age, boy or girl, clothing size and their needs and wishes. After you get the gifts make sure the stocking ID number is on every item so we can make sure every gift goes to the right child at the right school. Please drop the gifts back off at any of our Santa stops or at our 24 hour remote stop at Berryhill Park between noon Dec. 9 and noon Dec. 10.

      Make a donation, whether that's money, clothing or toys. Crain Media radio station will be doing a live broadcast. Donations, new clothes and new toys will be taken at this time. You can also make money donation at First Community Bank in Searcy. Tell them to deposit the amount in the Christmas 4 Kids account. All donations go to the kids of White County.

      We go through the counselors at White County Schools for the children we help.

      Thank you to those who have helped make a child smile on Christmas morning!
