Each year the elves at Kids House work to make the holidays extra special for our families. We could not do this without the support of our community. Kids House collects gifts donated from community members to be distributed to each child attending our annual Holiday Party. In addition, Kids House has a sponsored family program that provides a full Christmas to our families in the greatest need. If you are interested in sponsoring a child or family for Christmas please contact Marcie Dearth at (407) 324-3036 x 237 or dearth@kidshouse.org.
