Make Christmas Brighter for Families in Cumberland
This holiday season, you can be the reason a child smiles on Christmas morning.
Cumberland Christmas Mother serves families and senior citizens right here in our rural community—neighbors who may be facing hardship but still deserve the joy, warmth, and magic of the holidays. Thanks to caring volunteers, we’ve built a program that truly makes a difference… but we need you to keep it going strong.
🎁 We’re looking for volunteers to help with:
· Toy and gift distribution
· Sorting and organizing donations
· Assisting families during pickup days
· Spreading holiday cheer with kindness and compassion
❤️ Why volunteer?
Because in a small community, every act of kindness matters more. Your time can bring hope, dignity, and joy to families who need it most.
Whether you can give a few hours or several days, your help will ensure that no child or senior citizen is forgotten this Christmas.
🎄 Join us. Give back. Be part of something meaningful.
Sign up today and help us make this Christmas unforgettable for local families.
We want to share our 2026 list of volunteer opportunities for anyone who would like to volunteer with the Cumberland Christmas Mother. Please see the link below for more information or to sign up. Our next committee meeting is August 14 at 10am at Cumberland, VA Department of Social Services if anyone is interested in joining us, we would love to have you!
