The Agency served 390 children in Hancock, Henderson, McDonough and Warren counties through the program this year and several received the Christ Child gifts and coats that were purchased and given through the School's collective efforts. As in years past, the coats made this a very special season of sharing, as the children who received the coats were very much in need and were most delighted and appreciative to receive them. To each and every one of you who had a hand in either the coats or Christ Child gifts, thank you for your kind and most thoughtful generosity!
