Christmas Angel donors can help abused Hawaii keiki

Advertiser Staff

The Children's Alliance of Hawaii is looking for some Christmas elves to help with its annual "Christmas Angel Project."

The Christmas Angel Project is aimed at providing special holiday gifts to sexually abused children and their siblings, specifically families living in poverty.

Each cutout Angel contains a wish from a child that the Children's Alliance or a partnering organization serves. Schools, companies, civic and church groups, and individuals can sponsor one or multiple Angels.

Donors are asked to contribute gifts for the children no later than Dec. 10, so volunteers may deliver the gifts by Christmas.

The Children's Alliance of Hawaii is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide care and support for sexually abused children. The organization assists the Children's Justice Center and serves sexually abused children from toddlers through teens with therapeutic and enhancement programs.

For more information about the organization, go to www.cahawaii.org.

Individuals, organizations or companies interested in participating in the Christmas Angel Project may contact Kim Bartenstein, 599-2955, ext. 216 or bartenstein@cahawaii.org.
