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
children who are less fortunate than others get the opportunity to receive a
gift. Parents or legal guardians are required to sign-up to
participate, and on the distribution day
they get the chance to "shop" for a gift for their child. In addition, each
child received a storybook and a bag of school supplies and each family
received a board game. Over 1197
children were given a gifts with the help of over 20 volunteer "elves".
The distribution day for
2008 will be held at the National Guard Armory Tuesday, December 16.. Registration forms to participate
will be available in November. Registration forms will be available at
Bi-County CAP (2529 15th St. NW), Community
Resource Connections (616 America Ave. Suite 170), First National Bank
Bemidji (502 Minnesota Ave. NW), and United Way of Bemidji Area (201 3rd St.
NW, second floor). For further details please contact United Way at
(218) 444-8929.
A BIG thanks goes to co-sponsor RP Broadcasting
and its employees who camped out for four days to help raise money and toys
for the program.
