What Wayne County Childrens Christmas Bureau does
Mission
The organization provides basic necessities and creature comforts of a child's life including warm serviceable inner and outer wear, comfortable and attractive school and dress clothing, school supplies, age appropriate learning tools, utensils, books, as well as wish list gifts requested by children ages 0 through 16 years. In 2025 the organization served over 300 children in Wayne County.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In October 2025 we announced and advertised our program. We invited residents of Wayne County to sign up in they were in need of assistance. During sign up week, we assisted over 171 families in filling out a form which lists basic information about the family including a brief description of their needs. Once the list was compiled, we then assigned each family to a large group of volunteer shoppers. The shoppers had approximately three weeks to shop for the children on their lists. All gifts were returned and sorted out for distribution to the parents on the first week of December. On distribution day families come to pick up their packages specifically purchased for their children. Once they arrive, they also have a chance to walk through and select any gently used items of clothing and toys which have been collected, sorted and compiled over the year.
