to Christmas Assistance

 

“My family has been blessed for Christmas! For many years we just did not have the means to buy much for Christmas. It was amazing to see the happiness on my little ones face when they opened their gifts that we received from our HWCEC family. I am forever grateful!”

Helen R. Walton Children’s Enrichment Center has been providing holiday assistance to families for the past 14 years. With the help of donors like YOU, this program alleviates some of the financial burden from families that struggle during the holiday season by providing clothing, toys, arts and crafts, sporting goods, etc. that are specific to the child’s age and interests.

Families in need may sign up to receive presents by filling out wish lists for their children.

Families who want to help support the program have two ways of giving - making a donation or being a secret shopper. For those who donate, staff member volunteers will shop for the child on their behalf. Secret shoppers purchase items based on the child’s wish list that they receive from HWCEC.

If you would like to shop for a child, please email Jennifer at jharrison@hwccenter.com with your name and how you would like to support the program.
