Christmas! Help FESS Help Families!
Christmas is for giving! We’re partnering this year with Family Education and Support Services (FESS) to provide help for local families. Every gift brings hope and joy to those who need it most. There are two EASY ways to help: Amazon Wishlist: Shop directly from FESS’s Amazon wishlist to provide for local families; have the items shipped directly to FESS for convenience. Adopt a Family: Brighten the holidays for an entire family! Visit the FESS Holiday Families page for information on specific family needs.
