It’s officially the holiday season and time to kick-off off the annual Main Street Mission Christmas Wish program! Christmas Wish is a program in which the entire community can become involved in making many local children’s Christmas experience a happier one. This program is a great way to share God’s love with the children/families that you are helping, but it can also become a holiday tradition of giving inside your own family.

We began accepting letters seeking gifts for children in Pope/Yell counties under the age of 18 in October and the letters will continue to be accepted through the postmark date of.   Applications can be picked up at the Mission office or kitchen. The applicants will be contacted for an interview to verify income requirements and need for assistance before the letters will be published.

An effort will be made to coordinate with other agencies providing Christmas gifts to avoid duplication and to make sure the most number of children can be served. If we find that a family has already registered with another Christmas program, we will remove that family from Christmas Wish. Also, any letters that request items that are unreasonable in price (Playstation 3 System, Wii System, etc.) will be removed from our program.

Letters should be mailed to:
