826 children at Harvest House
may not have gifts! :(
|
Here are two of them. These feet belong to Kurtis and Kiandra *, whose parents are already worried about Christmas. A layoff and a sudden illness have thrown a kink in their budget, and toys simply aren't as important as rent and groceries.
Ricky Estes, financial advisor at Edward Jones, knows firsthand how these kids feel. And he knows how a gift from a compassionate community member can affect a child's life. Ricky states,

"
I got to have a normal childhood because of what Harvest House did for me and my family."

Will YOU make a difference in the lives of children like Kurtis and Kiandra? Someday, they'll be grown-up like Ricky, and you will have helped them become who they are, by showing them the love of Christ.

Ways to lower the number to 825:
|
|
|
-
Donate a gift and drop it by our office before Dec 7th.
A child in your life could help pick out a toy they would want.
-
Select a Holiday Friends "gift tag" and buy a specific item.
If you live local and want 10 or more tags for your church or group, we'll deliver them to you.
- Host a Holiday Friends Collection Box. Decorate an oversized box and ask your customers, friends, or family to fill the box with unwrapped toys.
- Donate a $30 gift card from Academy, Target, Sephora, or Ulta.
This will make a teenager very happy on Christmas Day.
- Donate to Harvest House monetarily, and we'll do the shopping for you!
If you donate on our website, designate "Holiday Friends" in the note section.

Kurtis and Kiandra are fictitious siblings, but aren't their feet cute?
This story is a scenario that occurs repeatedly in our community.
