I have a church youth program and we’re looking to make care Christmas packages for a few families around the Oconee County area.
We want to include a few small gifts for any children they may have. Some canned goods, toiletries and a gift for the parents. How would I go about finding families in need of one of our care packages?
Chloe Skupnick
Hey there! What a great thing you’re doing and a great way to teach the youth group about helping others out! We all have to do our best to help one another sometimes.
The best way to do that would be getting in contact with your local United Way. They help with a LOT of low-income families and other things. You may also be able to use the church office to find out if there are any needs right there in your own church- you never know!

We use propane to cook. Our propane heaters were stolen. I have two children in their early 20’s. That I have not been able to get them anything for Christmas in 3 years. It bothers me.
