Dear Christmas is for Kids Parent or Guardian,

Applications and story sheets are now available on our website and at 4 Hodges Street, Attleboro, and I am strongly encouraging you to fill out the application and get it to us as soon as possible. 

First, applications and story sheets are available now and I am strongly encouraging you to fill one out and get it to us as soon as possible. You can download the APPLICATION here. We have also left copies outside our office at 4 Hodges Street, Attleboro. 

A few updates :

  • Classes are required for all returning parents: 8 hours for parents in the first 4 years participating in the program and for parents who are applying for a 5th year or more, an additional 4 hours are required, specifically on personal finance. We have again partnered with other non-profits and given you lots of options to take classes early.

  • When you download and fill out the STORY SHEET, please do not include a lot of specific items. Our ability to shop is limited. We are planning on more children than last year, and we are also assuming donors will be limited in their ability to secure items that are in sort supply or in high demand. Also, toys may be harder to get due to shipping issues around the world. We will prioritize warm clothes and do our best to match as closely as possible for toys, but please remember that we will substitute when we need to. I am assuming we may be doing more gift cards than usual for the teens, who I know love to shop for themselves anyway.

  • When you return the application, it is extremely important that you put all of your required information with the application and story sheet in a SEALED envelope. Work is being done in the building and in our little office by the city and we want to keep your information secure.

Our plan is to reach out to parents as soon as your application is approved to let you know that we are working on your children's gifts. We will have a 1-day distribution as in prior years.

Volunteers are already working to get things ready for your children.  Please let us know if you have questions.

Be well and stay safe!
