Monetary donations
We accept monetary donations at anytime during the year to help fund our Christmas Assistance Program. Your donation will go to fund clothing and gifts for children-in-need or perishable food for the food baskets. Please make checks payable to: CFD Auxiliary
Sponsor a family
We welcome and encourage you to sponsor a family in need by providing for gifts to be given to these families. Please call our hotline number below or register on our website to sponsor families beginning November 1st to December 4th. We will match you with families that are in need. Then you can go and shop for these families’ clothes and/or gift needs. The deadline to return gifts for sponsored families will be December 6th. Please contact the fire department to register as a sponsor. Please visit our website for more information about becoming a sponsor. If you know of a family in need please have them register with The Good Samaritan at the number provided.
Food basket and gift
Also, for our food and gift deliveries, helpers are needed to assist with delivering food boxes and gifts to families-in-need in the Carmel and Clay Township areas which will take place on Saturday, December 8th beginning at 9:00am. For assisting with deliveries, contact the fire department at the number provided. Helpers will meet at the Carmel Fire Department Headquarters at 2 Civic Square in Carmel on the morning of December 8th.
Please come out and help us this year provide food and gifts to those families in need and partake in the joy and excitement as we make Christmas time special for families and children. Please join us.
