The St. Vincent de Paul/Children’s Foundation Christmas Angel Program is taking applications and handing out packages at the St. Vincent de Paul Society, located at 1269 Union Avenue, in Laconia starting December 3rd. The program will be open on Tuesdays - December 3 & 10 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays - Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This program is available to families with children ages birth to 18 years old. An outfit of clothing, socks, underwear/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, stores & restaurants and are available for anyone wanting to donate an outfit of clothing for a child in need.

Custodial parents/grandparents/foster parents are asked to bring the appropriate paperwork if they have sole or split custody of the children.

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