The Helping Hands Elf Project, which provides Christmas gifts for area children, is fully underway.
To help out, find one of their many Christmas trees in the area. The Christmas tree is decorated with “mittens” that list a child’s Christmas gift request. “Project Elf is how Helping Hands got started 31 years ago,” Helping Hands volunteer Crystal Emmons said. “We help kids get 2 gifts that mom has requested, and then we make sure each kid gets at least one book and each family gets at least one board game. People who want to help us out with that can find our Christmas trees, decorated with little mittens, around Dripping. The mitten decorations have the name of a child and the gifts requested. We ask that the gifts be brought to us by the eleventh of December, because we then need to start getting the gift packages together for distribution.”
Project Elf is goal is to help 150 families this year, and plans to help with social services as well.
