It’s summer, and while Christmas might be the last thing on your mind, Volunteer Prince William is holding our Christmas in July program to support Untrim a Tree 2024 (UTAT). You can make an online donation now! Last year, we faced a significant drop in toy donations, causing many unsponsored children to face the possibility of Christmas morning without gifts.
Your support allows us to provide these children with a Merry Christmas! If you want to sponsor a child when UTAT goes live this Fall, we’ll be glad to provide you with the name and wish list of a child. Please visit https://bit.ly/485xq6Q to donate or email ed@volunteerprincewilliam.org for more information. You can also purchase toys now for UTAT by visiting our Amazon wish list. On behalf of the kids you’ll be helping, thank you for your support!
