This comes in the form of gift cards to the local IGA Food Cache and presents for children under age 18 (wrapped by volunteers), plus a variety of other gifts, and special gifts for expectant mothers and mothers of newborns. If you know someone who could use some Christmas joy, you can fill out a referral form. Referral forms are available (after Thanksgiving) through your local churches or call 907-895-4322 and leave a message with your phone number (please say the number twice, so we can return your call). Forms are due by December 13.
