Sometimes, Florida families need a little help with free Christmas gifts and food. Life happens to all of us. A layoff, an illness, a recent move, a major repair or any unexpected expense can make it impossible to afford the extra gifts and food to celebrate the holiday season.
Fortunately, there are agencies that can help. We’re dedicated to helping low income families all across America get the help they need to enjoy their holidays. If you need help in a different state, you can click here to find help in your area.
