About Us:
The Elf Project for A Child's Christmas is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to taking back Christmas by providing Christmas presents for those who most need them in the Knoxville, TN area! Growing slowly but steadily, often simply by word of mouth, we have been serving Knox and Anderson County families since 2004. In 2011 we provided assistance to 298 children. We are able to do this by accepting donations, and enabling shopper/donors or shopper/volunteers to assist those parents in need of help.
It doesn't take much. We only ask for a commitment of $50 per child and/or about an hour of time to meet and shop with a parent. That $50 is the difference between Christmas and no Christmas for many. Applicants are recommended by Knoxville area pastors, community service organizations such as The Compassion Coalition and The Community Chest, and government funded organizations such as Head Start and Families First.
Apply:
If you or someone you know is in need of some help this Christmas, please download the application and mail to The Elf Project before November 15, 2011.
