Christmas Wish has returned for the 31st year with the goal of helping those in need create a memorable Christmas for their children.
The program allows area residents to step up and assist those needing help providing Christmas gifts for their children.
Beginning this year, CareCenter Ministries wil handle the day-to-day operations of the Christmas Wish program, with The Bulletin continuing to to publish information about the families that have applied to the program.
Donations to the program may be dropped off at the CareCenter Ministries office, which is located at 734 Thorn Street in Mountain Home. Those making a donation by check should include “Christmas Wish” on the check’s memo line.
For questions about the Christmas Wish program or for information about becoming a business sponsor, please call (870) 656-9364.
Today, we continue to run Christmas Wish letters:
