### Help Us Support 5 Local Families This Season!

The Annapolis Jaycees are excited to kick off our Annual Holiday Sharing Event, a long-standing tradition where we come together to support families in our community during the holiday season. This year, we are sponsoring 5 families with a total of 12 children, and we need your help to make their holiday bright.

### How It Works

We partner Jaycees and volunteers with local families to provide:

  • Holiday gifts for each child
  • All the fixings for a festive holiday meal
  • A warm delivery in mid-December to ensure each family feels supported and celebrated

### How YOU Can Help

We’re looking for generous volunteers to join us in two ways:

#### Sponsor & Shop for Gifts

Select one child—or multiple!—and shop from their wish list. We’ll share details once you sign up. Gift budgets typically range from $40–$60 per child, but any support is appreciated.

#### Donate Holiday Meal Items

We will also provide each family with ingredients for a complete holiday dinner. Needed items include:
• Turkeys
• Stuffing mix
• Mashed potatoes or potato boxes
• Canned vegetables
• Gravy
• Mac & cheese
• Cranberry sauce
• Dinner rolls
• Desserts (boxed or store-bought)
Timeline

  • Now through early December – Sign up to sponsor a child or donate food items
  • Mid-December – Gift and food drop-off
  • Delivery Weekend – Jaycees will deliver items directly to the families

### Why It Matters

Holiday Sharing is one of the most meaningful ways we support our neighbors. Your kindness helps families not only receive gifts and meals—but also know that their community cares.
Come join us in spreading joy, connection, and generosity this holiday season.
Sign up, shop, donate, or help deliver—every bit makes a difference!
