For more than 55 years, supportive community members have granted the wishes of children through the Holiday Wish program at Franklin County Children Services. Because of your support, these children have received more than a gift, they been given a memorable moment with their families that they will never forget. Help us provide gifts for thousands of youth served by the agency and put the magic back in the holidays for our families.
