Holiday Giving

2022 Christmas Bureau: Help us bring Christmas to a local family

Our office is partnering once again with the Allen County Christmas Bureau to bring Christmas to an area family.

The Christmas Bureau allows us to help our friends and neighbors have the Christmas of their dreams. Everyone deserves that at least once in his/her lifetime. This year we are asking for you to help us make the holiday one to remember for this area family. Last year we had an overwhelming amount of support and we know we can do that again! Below is a list of items needed specifically for this family as well as the details you may need to know. However, if you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 260-969-1177.

Items must be new (or very gently used), unwrapped, and dropped off at our office by the end of the business day on Thursday, December 1st.
