Christmas Boutique

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.
