THANKSGIVING

If you will be unable to have a Thanksgiving dinner this year please contact the Lifelinks Family Support Center. All requests will be taken under consideration, quantities are limited. Email: familysupport@lifelinksinc.net with the number of people and your family and a brief description of need.

CHRISTMAS

· For families with children under the age of 13, who need assistance with gifts. Lifelinks Family Support Center will be organizing a ‘giving tree’ to sponsor children in need. Please email: familysupport@lifelinksinc.net with the gender, age and gift request of the child (limit 3 things). These need to be submitted by November 4 in order to be considered.

· Sun Santa: Applications will be accepted from October 31 – November 18 through CTI. The office handling applications is located at 17 Kirk Street, Lowell. You can go directly there during the dates above to apply. I believe you will need proof of residence (a bill mailed to the house), Social Security Numbers and birthdates of children and possibly income verification.
