Hollis Christmas Committee 2019

The 2019 Hollis Christmas Fund once again proved to be a huge success. This year the Fund helped 60 children from 27 Hollis families to have a brighter holiday. Children were able to unwrap some very special gifts this year thanks to the generosity and support of many in this community. For many years, Your Country Store has decorated a giving tree with tags that have suggested toy donations on each tag. The business has always had great participation in this program as customers will purchase the toys and bringing them back. Last year, a giving tree was started at the Town Hall as well. And that too, proved to be a successful way for residents to give. In 2019 Salmon Falls River Tap & Grill joined in with a giving tree of their own, also with a great outcome. This program is all about sharing and caring and this community has welcomed the idea with much enthusiasm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful residents, businesses and organizations who have supported this program not only this year but also in so many years past. This would not be possible without so many people coming together for a great cause. On behalf of the Hollis Christmas Fund, thank you.

Respectfully submitted, Hollis Christmas Fund Committee
