Christmas Providers organization provides a unique adopt-a-family Christmas program whereby people ("Providers") who choose to help a family in need will actually get to meet their adopted family and deliver Christmas presents and food themselves. We have been serving the Birdville & Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School Districts since 1984, connecting 400-600 families with a "Provider" every Christmas season.
Our organization works closely with the school counselors, nurses, & staff of the two partner school districts to ensure that the families most in need are identified for the program. The students of these two school districts hold a food drive for our organization so that adoptive families can receive non-perishable canned goods in addition to Christmas gifts.
Christmas Providers relies on local businesses, churches, & the surrounding community to adopt families in need. Providers purchase gifts for the children, and a holiday meat for the family & they pick up a 60 lb box of food & a grocery gift card prepared & purchased by the Christmas Providers organization.
Christmas Providers is a 100% volunteer non-profit serving the HEB and Birdville ISDs for more than 39 years. Our mission is to bring the joy of Christmas to 500 families in need through our unique Adopt-a-Family program.
Need # 1......DONATIONS - GOAL: $25k
Cash donations are used to purchase grocery gift cards ($45-$75 depending on size of the adopted family) from local grocery stores. These gift cards are provided to the families who have been adopted to help them purchase perishable items such as milk, bread, eggs, etc.
Over 90% of all donations are given back to the families in the form of these grocery gift cards.
