BELLOWS FALLS-As Parks Place looks ahead to the holidays, the team is seeking "holiday elves" - individuals, families, or organizations willing to purchase gifts for local children through the annual Holiday Gift Program.
Each year, Parks Place works with Chroma Technology to fulfill the wish lists of local children throughout the Windham Northeast school district. The organization is also welcoming monetary donations to help purchase food gift cards for families, so they can share a warm meal this holiday season.
This year, Parks Place says it has seen a significant increase in community members seeking assistance, including many families who have never reached out for help before. With the rising cost of living, these supports are more important than ever to help ensure local families can meet their basic needs and experience the warmth of the season.
Those interested in getting involved or donating can contact Parks Place at 802-463-9927, ext. 101, or director@parksplacevermont.com.
