Press Release
From Eliada Homes:
Every year, Eliada staff work hard to make the holidays a special time for the children in our care. We try to fill each child’s Wish List, and we have a huge campus-wide Holiday Party. We hope you will join us once again this year to help create Christmas memories for the kids at Eliada!
If you or your family, church, business, or other group is interested in helping make the holidays merry for an Eliada child, this opportunity is for you!
When you sign up to sponsor a child for the holidays, you’ll receive a Wish List that the child created. Wish Lists answer basic questions like the child’s favorite color, clothing sizes, hobbies, and most needed and wanted items.
For most of these children and youth, the gifts they receive from sponsors are the only gifts they will get for Christmas.
The value of a Wish List is about $150. You can divide that cost with friends, or even sponsor several children.
If you don’t have time to shop, Eliada will use your donation to purchase gifts, and have some gifts on hand for children who may arrive at Eliada too close to Christmas to complete their Wish List. You can make a donation here.
Help us create holiday memories at Eliada! To be matched with a child, please contact Jewel Tavener by email at jtavener@eliada.org or by phone at (828) 254-5356, ext. 300.
Come to our Holiday Party!
This year, we need a lot of helping hands for our Holiday Party! The party is Thursday, December 18th. If your business, church, or group would like to provide some of the food, help with decorations, or do a craft for the children, we need you! Please contact Tami Ruckman for more details at truckman@eliada.org or (828) 254-5356, ext. 306.
