Local Holiday Assistance Programs
HACAP has seen a change in the needs of our communities over the last few years, which has led to providing more support needed for year-round programming than ever before. We now have a greater need for funds to pay for the goods and services that will help our programs benefit more people in our communities. Please Note: Events have been verified but are subject to change. Please contact the organization listed in bold for direct questions regarding programming. This page will be updated as we receieve more resources throughout the season.
