"My children will love the gifts that 'Santa VEAP' brought to them. Without your program and volunteers, my children would not have had a Christmas. We are a strong family, even with a paper Christmas tree taped to the wall. Thank you all."
Children and Youth Services Program
Certain times of the year are especially difficult for households already stretched to their limits. A little extra help during these emotionally and financially stressful times provides powerful benefits. Children in our community greatly benefit from our holiday services and the number of children we serve has steadily increased each year.
VEAP's Children and Youth Services Include:
Birthday Bags
Children 12 and under - cake, frosting, candles, plates, napkins and favors. Designed to offer the family an opportunity to celebrate special times in their children's lives. Find out more about birthday bags.
Summer Youth Food Program
