The Junior Auxiliary of Taney County helped make the holidays brighter for many area children.
The JATC's Christmas Assistance provided gifts for children ages three months to five years, who are enrolled in programs through OACAC Head Start, Early Head Start and Home-Based Programs.
A total of 96 children benefited from the Christmas Assistance Program, each receiving a hooded coat, gloves, an outfit of clothing, a book and a toy.
"All the children were excited to receive a special gift this holiday season, and parents were very appreciative," said Bobboe Wydeen, Head Start Family Advocate/Director.
The Junior Auxiliary of Taney County would like to thank Ozarks Family Vision Center, who held a toy drive for this project, along with an anonymous local business, who donated $1,000 to help support the project.
The motto of Junior Auxiliary of Taney County is Caring Hearts-Helping Hands-Changing Lives. To learn more about JATC, visit their website at www.jatcmo.org
