Santa Project is starting
Special to the Ledger
The Calloway County Schools' Santa Project has begun. The program for Calloway County school students, 12th grade and younger, assists families by providing gifts such as clothing, books, games and toys at Christmastime. More than 620 children were served last year through sponsorships where individuals or groups purchase items for a child, according to Michelle Hansen, director of the Calloway County Family Resource Center.
Sponsorships can be done in memorial or in honor of someone.
New clothing, toys and tax deductible monetary donations are also being accepted at the Family Resource Center at East Elementary School, 1169 Pottertown Rd., Murray, KY 42071, for children who are not sponsored. Checks can be made out to the Angel Fund.
All funds designated for Santa Project are spent on the program.
Residents who have questions or wish to sponsor a child, should contact Tammy McCallon at 762-7333 or Hansen at 978-0542.
