Christmas Hamper Program
Once again this year, Homebases will be assigned a family to collect food and other essential items. In addition to helping families in need, Christmas hampers are a great educational tool to teach our students about poverty and social justice. Every year we have more families requiring assistance than we have homebases; therefore, groups of staffmembers have also teamed up to collect.
