LACONIA —  The St. Vincent de Paul Society Children’s Foundation Christmas Angel Program is still taking applications and handing out packages at the St. Vincent de Paul Society, located at 1269 Union Ave. The last day for the Christmas Angel Program will be Saturday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

The program is available to families with children ages birth to 18 years old. An outfit of clothing, socks, underwear or diapers, and personal hygiene items will be given for each child. Any additional items in the package are through the generosity of anonymous donors. Tags, with clothing sizes, are hung on Christmas trees in local churches and restaurants, and are available for anyone wishing to donate an outfit of clothing for a child in need. 

Custodial parents, grandparents and foster parents are asked to bring the appropriate paperwork if they have sole or shared custody of their child.

Anyone wishing to make a donation of cash or clothing can stop by the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, 1269 Union Ave., next to McDonald’s, or send by mail to SVDP Children’s Foundation, P.O. Box 6123, Laconia, NH 03247.
