Christmas gifts
The program everything else grew out of. Angel Tree tags and gifts for children across the central peninsula.
It started as sponsor money from snowmachine races, redirected to a few local families at Christmas. Thirty people that first year.
Kendall Auto Alaska's 12 Days of Caring gave 62 children a Christmas through this program.
A gift a child actually asked for, bought new, tagged and handed over at their own school.
How to give
Before you send, write this in the note or memo box:
Christmas
Every one of these apps asks for a note before the money moves. Putting the program name in it is how Matt knows which one your gift is for, and it is how it gets counted to the right place. Without it the gift still arrives, it just lands in the general pile.
Every one of these goes to Matt Brown, who runs Operation Children First and buys the supplies himself. The organisation has no online giving of its own switched on yet. If you would rather give another way, message us and we will take it from there.
