"Assisting families and individuals of Delaware County in a collaborative effort by providing personal emergency assistance with dignity and respect in their time of need"
HOLIDAY CLEARING HOUSE December 5 - 13, 2009 Delaware County Fairgrounds Coliseum 236 Pennsylvania Avenue, Delaware
Holiday Clearing House serves Delaware County families with children and senior/disabled housebound individuals in need. Families with children are offered new toys, new clothing and gifs for the children and food for the entire household. Volunteers deliver holiday baskets consisting of food and gifts directly to the senior/disabled households.
The 2009 Holiday Clearing House program assisted 497 families consisting of 1,159 children and 488 adults. Deliveries were made to 172 senior/disabled individuals along with their live-in family and/or caretakers. These figures do not reflect the Delaware County residents assisted through the other financial or food programs offered by PIN.
The Board of Directors and staff offer our sincere apprecation for your generosity of goods, monetary gifts and volunteer hours to assist our Delaware County neighbors in need. Thank you for your continued support.
We look forward to working with you again during the 2010 Holiday Clearing House!
Welcome to Holiday Clearing House (HCH) 2009; it's going to an exciting season for everyone!
HCH is celebrating 54 years of dedicated service providing food, new toys, new clothing and gifts to children, families, seniors and the physically disabled shut-ins who reside in Delaware County.
This community based sharing program is only as successful as our volunteers and donors make it. It takes hundreds of people each year to volunteer their time and to donate items to this program to make it successful. YOU are among those who come together to provide a brighter, happier holiday season for the residents of Delaware County who are less fortunate.
On behalf of those we serve, we thank you and wish you the best of holidays.
