Volusia and Flagler County free Christmas and holiday assistance.
Charities across Volusia as well as Flagler County help less fortunate families during the holidays. Find where to get free Christmas gifts, Toys for Tots, as well as holiday food baskets. Most of the assistance is provided during Christmas as well as Christmas, and this is when households with children can apply for Adopt a Family or Angel Tree. Or kids can get free toys, gifts, and holiday presents. However other material assistance can be provided at different times of the year.
There are several major fund raising projects held during the year. As an example, a charity may request people from the community to contribute food, gift cards and gifts to a holiday program. Throughout the year, volunteers will collect these toys, games, household supplies, bicycles, and much more. Then, during the Christmas season, all of this will be given, for free, to low income households.
Whether a family lives in Volusia County or in other, nearby areas such as Flagler, there may be assistance available for them. A major focus is on ensuring children, the elderly, and disadvantaged have assistance during the holidays. The fact is that every child should have a present to open under the Christmas tree.
