Once again the Christmas season is approaching. As you know, not all children this year will take part in a celebration with their own families.

A child who has been taken out of abusive or neglectful homes may be sharing Christmas with a family of strangers. Many of these children may wonder if Santa Claus has received their new address and if he will be bringing gifts to them. This year, there are hundreds of children in the Upper Cumberland who are in state’s custody and approximately 40 of those children are from DeKalb County and they need your help.

The Santa for all Season group is requesting assistance with funds to support these children during the season of giving. This provides assistance to foster and underprivileged children all year.

If you or your organization is willing to help provide funds, please contact Annette Greek or make checks payable to the DeKalb Foster Children’s Fund and send to the following address:

Annette W. Greek, 1101 South College Street, Smithville, TN 37166.
