Help Make This Christmas A Happy One For Area Children

DANBURY — For some children, the merriment and friendship associated with Christmas gift giving are not a part of their lives. Some are children of parents may wish to give gifts but are unable to because they have difficulty providing even the basic necessities of daily living. Others are the children who have been abandoned for a variety of reasons.

One group working to aid such children is Connecticut Children’s Services, Inc, an all-volunteer nonprofit local organization, through its Children’s Christmas Fund. For more than 25 years The Children’s Christmas Fund has been the primary local provider of new clothes and toys to 3,000 disadvantaged children in the 16-town greater Danbury area.

With Christmas, the traditional time of sharing, approaching swiftly, a tax-deductible contribution to bring joy to these local children is urgently requested, said Joseph J. Ubaghs, LCSW, executive director. “Children assisted range in age from birth to 15. By making an early cash donation, donors can help Connecticut Children’s Services help the children the most effectively,” he added

New toys and clothes may be brought to the state regional center, at 400 Main Street, until December 18. Checks can be mailed to Connecticut Children’s Services, Inc, PO Box 2811, Danbury CT 06813
