2011
90 Families, 300 Children, served by 150 volunteers
The Christmas Boutique 2011 was a success! Thank you to everyone who donated, served, or helped out in any way.
What is it?
What if families out of work and struggling financially could be blessed with a Free Christmas for their children, no strings attached?
They can at this year’s Christmas Boutique!
NRHC created a store-like setting at the Rawlinson Place Campus where families chose Christmas gifts for their children. Families are invited through our partner schools and local agencies.
