Local Nonprofits Need Help to Help Homeless Families

Local nonprofits need your help in bringing holiday cheer to local homeless families.

Friends of F.I.T., along with the Northboro Junior Woman's CLub, are hosting their annual holiday party for homeless families located in Northborough, Westborough and Marlboro. Guests will enjoy games, crafts, dinner and of course a visit from Santa.

All children will recieve gifts from Santa along with goody bags filled with sweets, new socks and underwear and items such as coloring books and card games. Adults will also recieve some holiday cheer as they will recieve gift bags with personal hygiene items as well as some special holiday treats.

But, we need your help!
