About Us
Project Christmas 2024
Project Christmas is a community supported event, committed to serving those who have experienced financial difficulties so they can have a good Christmas.
For 30 years, Project Christmas has been working to help qualifying families in Wexford and Missaukee counties. Many of these families and individuals would not be able to celebrate Christmas without our support. We work year round in coordination with several local organizations to prepare for the large community event each December.
Thank you for everyone that volunteered for 2024!
