Holiday Giving

The Holiday Giving program is the community’s gift to those in need. Children and Seniors in qualified families receive holiday gifts. In addition, all qualified families receive holiday meals.

Local businesses, churches, service organizations, and our generous community come together to donate food, gift items and money to make this program happen. Participants in the program give back to the community by volunteering 10 hours at TEEG or with the community organization of their choice.
