Maroa Christmas Baskets
If you know a family in need, or would like to help a family, please contact Barb Hastings at 217-454-3639 or Barb Wilkey at 217-620-5527.
The Maroa Forsyth Christmas Baskets would like to “Thank” all of the volunteers that helped our program this year. Without your help, it would be very difficult for us to achieve all that we are able to provide for our families. Whether it be from the food drive, to cash donations, toy drive, helping get boxes ready before delivery day and helping on delivery day, the effort shows that our communities reflect compassion and unselfish caring. The families are very THANKFUL for all they receive.
Thank you,
Barb Hastings
