The Forgotten Children’s Fund
Christmas, they say, is for kids. But what about the children who wait for Santa and he never arrives? For them, Christmas is the saddest time of the year.
This letter sparked the creation of The Forgotten Children’s Fund 32 years ago. In the first year, 85 children in 21 families were visited by Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, with elves and gifts in tow. Today, FCF is serving 2,800 children in over 800 families - with 100 of those families residing in Skagit County alone.
This Monday, Dick Nord will be leading the conversation at Kick Off Coffee. He has been with the FCF since the beginning and is personally responsible for bringing the Christmas Spirit to some of the most needy in Skagit County. Also a pillar in the community, please join us as we talk with Dick and find out more!
