I was watching bad movies on YouTube and came across Christmas International sponsored on Movie Central.
Day of Reckoning (2016) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlxadZB7OC0 Specifically, DONATE Make Christmas Special For Those In Need! Everyone Deserves A Christmas Dinner! Movie Central, organizer Your donation helps provide food essentials and Christmas treats for a family in need this year, please give. Donation collected by The Christmas Box International YouTube covers all transaction fees • Nonprofit website The Christmas Box International works to prevent child abuse and defend children through a culture of universal diversity, inclusion, and love. We partner with local, national, and international groups to improve the quality of life for children, teens, and young adults who are victims of abuse, neglect, trafficking, or are facing homelessness. Our mission is simple: Every child deserves a childhood. It occurred to me most Christmas charities target low income families. I don't have an issue with helping low income families experience a pleasant Christmas. However, low income families are not the only families which might benefit from a lil help during the Christmas season. So I have an idea for a different kind of Christmas charity... Lets call it... umm?... "Christmas Possible" Christmas Possible targets low-middle income families who do not qualify for assistance because their income is just above the poverty assistance limit. These are families which earn too much to get assistance yet struggle to pay every bill. Christmas Possible doesn't buy gifts or pay for food. They give grants to families in the form of utility payments which ease the load on the household income during the Christmas season. The grant does not go to the family, it is applied to that household's utility bill(s) with a grant limit. The family gets a credit on their bill for the amount of the grant. The grant must be applied for by the head of household and they must qualify. They must designate which utility gets which percentage of the grant. This would free up that amount of utility bill money which that family can use for Christmas. |

Sounds like a good idea - energy rates are getting out of hand.
While I believe that Christmas is a special time of peace and harmony - I don't believe people are entitled to anything from strangers. The people that deserve a Christmas dinner, are the people that worked, saved and made the good decisions to make sure they have a good dinner. I'm sure there are churches that offer a good meal. These volunteers that give up their Christmas day to serve and cook deserve a good meal. I'm not trying to grinch or scrooge on Christmas, just have an issue on entitlement. I give to Christmas charities, not because I believe people deserve a good Christmas, I do it because it's the Christmassy thing to do. |

I’m the same way Bobtail76. For the past few years I’ve been giving to the Children’s Christmas Appeal (through the United Way of the Costal Bend) and Toys for Tots, anything to help out locally.
