Hope United: Hope Tree Program
Hope for Christmas
The Hope United Program was established in October 2024 to fill the gap left when our local Salvation Army closed, ensuring families in our community would still have access to Christmas support. Hope United is back for the 3rd year to provide a Hope Tree for Hope Kids. Our goal with Hope United is to restore HOPE and build community during stressful times. We are blessed with a great community that has stepped up to make sure our Hope Kids are taken care of; let's do it again!. A child’s ability to receive gifts shouldn't depend on their parents' financial situation.
Applications are open from October 1-31st. Eligible children are ages 2 (by Christmas) to 17, or 18 if they’re in high school.
We will notify you when the gifts are ready for pickup.
Falsifying any part of the application can disqualify you from receiving assistance from this program now and in the future! See below
Examples: You list children you are not the legal parent/guardian of, such as siblings or grandchildren from a child you've listed. Your child is not 2 or will not be 2 by Christmas. If your child is within the eligible guidelines but has children of their own, they will need to submit an application for their children, your grandchildren, unless you have legal guardianship.
***Please note that if you are a First American, you'll need to apply with your tribes Angel Tree program, if applicable***
