Holiday Gifts for Kids
The “Holiday Gifts for Kids Program”
is a special community event for United Way of Bemidji Area and
the event planning committee. It is co-sponsored by RP
Broadcasting and caring community volunteers who help organize
the event.
Each year more than 1100 children, ages 0-16, experience a
joyful Christmas thanks to the generosity and kindness of
others. Parents or legal guardians are required to
sign-up to participate in the Holiday Gifts for Kids program,
and on the distribution day they get the chance to "shop" for a
gift for their child. In addition, each family will receives a
board game.

Do you remember the excitement and
joy you felt as a child on Christmas morning? You have the
opportunity to give that excitement and joy to a child in
the Bemidji area who might otherwise go without this
Christmas. By donating to the Holiday Gifts for Kids
program: you help alleviate the financial stress many low
income working parents or people living in poverty face
during the holiday season; you are giving a child the
opportunity to experience the spirit of Christmas; and you
are providing memories that will last a lifetime.
The Holiday Gifts for Kids program provides children, ages
0-16, that reside within the Bemidji area school district,
with an age appropriate toy. More than 1100 children take
part in the program each year. All children must be
pre-registered and meet the program's guidelines prior to
participating.
