Holiday Assistance Program
We help families by paying a large portion or their rent/mortgage or utilities in December. Instead of giving toys, these funds allow families to budget for their own holiday giving.
Our goal is to help 60 families in 2012. You can help us help them. Irving Independent School District school counselors refer families to us. The families attend a money management class to learn how to better manage their income. You not only provide “fish,” but help by teaching the family “how to fish.”
In December 2011, 46 families – including 161 children – received financial assistance and a generous grocery gift card.
Enhance your holiday season by helping an Irving family in need. Your generous gift gives families a hand up, not a handout.
