Christmas in July

Christmas Program

Sharing joy and winter warmth with kids and families

Christmas Program at Maine Children's Home (MCH) is the only one of its kind that provides brand new toys, books, games, warm clothing, and winter essentials to nearly 1,500 Maine boys and girls facing financial hardship. It’s a year-round effort that would be impossible without generous donations, volunteer hours, and community support.

At Maine Children’s Home, we see this special program as a way to bring a little relief to families during a stressful time, and as a way to provide families with tools for play, connection, and comfort.

Support the Program During Christmas in July!

Since our Christmas Program requires so many hours of organizing and planning to supply boxes of gifts to more than 1,500 children, it is important that donations to the program come earlier in the year than during the holiday season. This is why MCH has a Christmas in July campaign, to spread the spirit of giving throughout the year, and to collect much needed coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, and board games to set the program up for a successful season.
