In 2025, the Christmas Project supported 957 households, including more than 1,800 kids 18 years old and younger, with food and gifts. We also helped seniors and those living in our local temporary shelters with food assistance. Read about the 100+ years of Christmas Project on Columbia Community Connection.
See our "thank you" card to show part of the impact made by the 2024 Christmas Project. 2025 "card" coming!

Tree of Joy 2026
The Tree of Joy provides new gifts for seniors and kids in need (in foster care) around the county. We welcome donations from business partners and individuals to help support these gifts.
For most kids, we'll be providing gift cards, giving them (or their parents) a choice about what to receive. We'll still use a "wish list" for the seniors supported by this project.
Volunteers will purchase gifts and deliver them to the organizations we support. In the photo, staff at Hood River Care Center gratefully accept gifts for seniors and others needing skilled nursing at Christmas Tree of Joy 2023.
