Simple acts of kindness may influence the life of a child forever. We all know this, yet often in the business of life we forget. This year, Interfaith is encouraging each person to step out and share. Share a blessing and enjoy the thought of knowing that your gift, your simple act of kindness, helped families of all sizes eat a nutritious meal, stay warm on a cold night or open a much needed gift.

Interfaith's Christmas Bureau offers some relief to hurting people by wrapping them in the warmth of caring, created by you- friends and family who want to help during the holiday season. Last year, many families signed up to receive encouragement and hope; that translates into happy children who received gifts and food for Christmas.

Donations of all sizes are deeply appreciated and help provide much needed encouragement to families.
