selectWith the holidays closing in fast, it’s nice to think of ways that we can give back to our community and our country. While so many of us are blessed with full tables at Thanksgiving and a few modest presents under our tree around Christmas, there are too many across our nation who don’t have such luxuries. This year, Fun in the Sun encourages you to join us in supporting the Christian Help charity this holiday season. Christian Help is an organization that not only helps the homeless by providing material and spiritual aid, but they also provide employment services and various youth programs.  Along with Z88.3 FM, the Altamonte Springs-based contemporary Christian music station, we are doing our part to help end homelessness and share our blessing with those less fortunate this holiday season.

This year, visit ChristianHelp.org to Adopt a Family for Christmas, and get to know a real family in need. It’s the perfect way to watch your donation in action and ensure your help truly goes to those who need it most.

In recent years, Christian Help has received the Neighborhood Builder Award from Bank of America, and the organization has worked tirelessly to tip the scales of homelessness in Central Florida. Currently, 1 in 6 children live in poverty, but with the hard working hands at Christian Help, that one child has a chance at a happy, wholesome life. Whether someone needs a job or basic food and shelter, Christian Help is working to preserve the simple kindness that every person deserves, especially during the holidays. Raise your voice with Fun in the Sun this season, and extend a hand to someone in need. After all, every child deserves the gift of a happy Christmas.
