Since 1984, Christmas In October (CIO) has grown to support over 4,000 volunteers working on over 500 houses each year. Our ability to help needy homeowners with repairs depends upon the availability of donations to support the volunteers.
Christmas in October has a remarkable Return on Investment. Last year, we had over $2,000,000 impact through a budget of a little over $300,000.
As we provide all of our services free of charge, money is one thing we greatly need. Your money will be used wisely and with care towards the purchase of supplies that are necessary to refurbish these homes. It will help keep this program running so that hundreds of people in the Kansas City area will continue to be aided by our efforts.
If you are remodeling and have items that you think could be used in our program, just e-mail us at info@christmasinoctober.org with a list. Let us know if you can deliver it to the warehouse, or if we need to pick it up.
