Greetings and a very warm welcome to the Cherokee
Secret Santa program !
We are happy to have you visiting our web site and would like
to acquaint
you with our "Secret Santa Program" from
The Cherokee Department of Family
and Children Services (DFCS).
This project is designed to benefit Cherokee children in
foster
care, who have been removed from their homes
due to abuse, neglect,
abandonment, or other family
problems. Because State or County
funds provide only
minimal funds for Christmas presents for these children,
we
are asking the community to help brighten the
lives of our
children.
Here is how the Secret Santa program operates:
- The children in foster care submit a "wish list" to our office.
- We then match the sponsors, who have provided us with an
estimated budget, with the lists of these children. You will receive
information such as the child's first name, age, sizes, and any
special wishes or needs the child may have. - The secret sponsors deliver the gifts to the designated
Secret Santa office. - Foster Parents and placement resources pick up the gifts at
the Secret Santa Office, in time for Santa to deliver them on
Christmas morning.
