Do you need help with Christmas gifts?

🎄 Christmas Gift Assistance Applications Open November 1! 🎁

Earlier today, we shared how our community can come together to make Christmas magical for local children. Now, we want to share some important information for families seeking assistance this holiday season! ❤️

Catholic Charities Steuben/Livingston is preparing to bring Christmas joy to approximately 1,000 children throughout our communities!

📅 Mark Your Calendars!

Applications for our Christmas Gift Assistance Program will open to the general public on Sunday, November 1, 2026!

❤️ Important Information for Families:

Applications are not yet open to the general public. Please follow our page for updates and application details as November 1 approaches.

Due to the high volume of requests each year, we encourage families to apply promptly once applications open. Assistance is dependent on program capacity and available resources.

🎁 Help Us Spread the Word!

Please share this announcement with families who may benefit from the program.

Together, we can make the holiday season a little brighter for children and families throughout Steuben and Livingston Counties! ❤️🎄
