2026 Christmas Assistance

The Goodwin Community Center’s 2026 Christmas assistance request form was open October 23–November 1 for families in our service area with children age 16 and younger.

We initially expect to help approximately 100 children, with more added as community sponsorships become available. Requests will be reviewed based on eligibility and current household need. Assistance is not first-come, first-served, and applying does not guarantee assistance.

To check whether your household is in our service area, enter your address in the search bar on the service area map. If your address appears in the purple are

a, you are eligible to apply.

One application is permitted per household. Initial notifications are planned to begin November 13th.

Documents will be requested only if your household is selected for the next step. If selected, you’ll need:

• A parent or guardian’s driver’s license or ID

• Proof of address for the adult completing the application

• Proof of guardianship for the child, such as a birth certificate or another document showing guardianship and date of birth
