We’re pleased to announce that we are now taking applications for the “Christmas is for Kids” program. The deadline to apply is November 19, 2021. The criteria is listed below.

Ages 2-12. If a child is 0-2 and other siblings are part of the program, they will be accepted and provided for so include them on the application. The application has to be filled out by the legal guardian or parent. Must be a citizen of Rockmart or Aragon. Bring a picture ID. Birth certificates for each child. 2 proofs of residency.

*You must not be signed up in other programs. We call each other and cross reference to avoid allowing people to double dip and use resources that another child may need.
