Is there any help for low income residents that reside in Taylor county in Texas?
Yes! Our research team is working on compiling a list for this area. We will definitely have it ready for you before the next holiday season. 🙂
Hey nicole what’s considered low annual income, in order to qualify for free xmas gift s We are a family of 5?
Hi, Gema! Usually, low income means that you earn less than two times the Federal Poverty Level for your household, which you can find here. This year, that would be about $57,560 per year for a family of five. However, each program can set their own criteria about what qualifies for their specific programs so it’s always a good idea to check with the specific programs and organizations that offer these services. I hope that helps!
