Christmas Box Program Nominations
Atlantic Rising, in partnership with Hy-Vee, will continue to lead the Christmas Box Program this holiday season. The program was originally started by West Central Community Action over 20 years ago. The Jaycees took the program over soon after it started and then passed the program to Atlantic Rising in 2018.
This program helps families and individuals in need of a Christmas dinner. Atlantic Rising members, along with community volunteers, delivered boxes to 140 individuals and families last year. With today’s continued challenges, we expect to see a continued increase in nominations this year.
On December 11th, members of Atlantic Rising and local volunteers will fill and deliver boxes of food items to families and individuals who can then use them to cook Christmas dinner.
To nominate a family or individual, or if you are interested in volunteering, contact Atlantic Rising at 712.243.3017 or chamber@atlanticiowa.com.
