This program has been helping the children of Anne Arundel County since 1992. Over 6000 children have received new toys, bikes, scooters and clothes to open on Christmas morning. In "2000" over 250 children had a happy and Merry Christmas. For Christmas "2001" we shared Christmas with over 1000 children with the help of our local school counselors. Christmas "2002" again with the assistance of our school counselors, over 500 children were selected for assistance, and so it has remained every year thus far to have served between 400 to 500 children who otherwise would not have a joyful Christmas. Some families have children with special needs and some children are being raised by their grandparents. After each child's wish list was checked, the gift selection process started using the donations gathered. Once the selection process was complete, the items where wrapped, bagged and tagged ready for delivery.

With the help of the Maryland State Police, Anne Arundel County Sheriff's Department, Anne Arundel County and Annapolis City Police Departments some families received their gifts prior to Christmas Eve. The remaining families recieved their presents Christmas Eve morning, with a visit from Santa and his volunteer elves .

With additional help and support the foundation hopes to help children enjoy a Merry Christmas "for many years to come. "
