The Christmas season is approaching. The past ten years have seen this program of Christmas giving sustained through the generosity of its sponsors. The Tillamook Ecumenical committee has spearheaded this annual program to meet the needs of its residents.
Christmas arrives every year, December 25th. the date doesn’t change, but the financial means to prepare for this holiday may. This season can be, will be, challenging and overwhelming to many whose income may have been reduced. The Tillamook Ecumenical Committee, (TEC) has recognized this need. Last year many of our sponsors came forward to adopt the 250+ families that had applied for a Christmas basket.
The TEC is preparing to accept applications for the annual Christmas basket program. They will work with providers and sponsors who will adopt families in Tillamook.
The TEC is encouraging those families and persons that are in need of a Christmas dinner and a gift for their child, to submit an application.
