Hope For The Holidays Giveaway 2023
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? Hope For The Holidays Giveaway is fast approaching! We get asked, constantly, why do a Christmas giveaway in Henderson, KY. We partner with 4Good Community of Henderson every year to giveway food baskets, back packs filled with school supplies for the start of school in January and toys and gifts for families in need. Why do we focus on Henderson, KY? The fact is:
- Henderson, KY has a population of 27,291 residents
- 20% of Henderson, KY residents had an income below the poverty level in 2021; greater than the poverty level of 16.5% across the entire state of Kentucky.
- 19.2% of high school graduates and 43.0% of non high school graduates live in poverty in Henderson, KY.
- There are no other giveaways in Henderson, KY (save for those that occur at an individual church for its members)
- Our giveaway served 600+ Henderson, KY residents last year. We expect that number to increase by an average of 80-100 per year.
As a nonprofit, we are in service to the poor, and go where the true need for help and assistance lies.
We are looking to partner with toy and clothing distributers. If you would like to donate to Hope For The Holidays, head over to our Contact page and let us know how you can help, or, shoot us an email at info@fostercareintheus.org.
