News from Share the Spirit Holiday Assistance Program
LAKE COUNTY — Share the Spirit Holiday Assistance Program started in 1998 as a Lake County only program to help children in struggling families with toys, clothes and gifts at Christmas. Since we started, we are fortunate enough to have partnered with the Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots program that helps us manage the task of providing for these children. In 2014 we served more than 1,100 Lake County children 12 and under in more than 400 families, and we can use your help again this year. Our trees covered with tags filled with children’s Christmas requests will go up all over the county around Thanksgiving so if you see one, please take a tag for someone less fortunate and help make their holiday brighter by buying one or more of the requests listed on the tag.
If you find your family struggling to make ends meet this Christmas, stop at the Lake County Office of Public Assistance, Public Health Department, WIC Office, Helping Hands, Job Services, or Working Innovations, to get an application. Our Share the Spirit applications require photo identification and proof of residence. All applications must be completed and mailed to Share the Spirit by Dec. 5.
Share the Spirit is a 501(c) 3 non-profit group registered with the Internal Revenue Service. Donations can be mailed to Share the Spirit at P.O. Box 1341, Polson, MT 59860. Questions? Please call 883-1046 for more information. Thank you and God bless.
