How We Help

Through generous donations from sponsors and individuals alike, we help families in the local community who need a little boost throughout the year.

Our flagship event for 16 years has been our Annual Christmas Party.  Connecticut families have joined us at WRCH’s Farmington Studios, Lake Compounce in Bristol and most recently at Nomad’s Adventure Quest in South Windsor.  In addition, Town and Country Transportation of New Britain has generously provided Luxury Motor Coach transportation to families from area homeless and domestic violence shelters as well as families associated with after school programs and/or generations housing.  With the Coronavirus Pandemic, this party/gathering is not possible in 2020.  We will grant on air wishes on a case by case basis (please see get my wish granted).

“Thank you for adopting our family for Christmas 2018.  It is hard being a single Mother of 3 kids and doing everything alone.  Thanks for making my kid’s Christmas happy again.”

“I just want to thank you so much for making my son’s Christmas happen.  After being in a car accident and being unable to work, I really thought my son wouldn’t have a Christmas in 2018.  You blessed us a lot and I thank you a billion times from the bottom of my heart.”

“The work they do is amazing. I attended their event last night at Nomads in South Windsor. Hundreds of children from shelters in the Hartford area had a meal, sat with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and received Christmas gifts. There were dozens of volunteers working hard to bring the holiday spirit to these children.”
