Once again this Christmas season, Hands of Hope, a local non-profit, will be providing --with your help -- the joy and hope of Christmas to families in need in 42 towns across Penobscot County.

Last year with assistance of the community and Townsquare Media stations, Kathy Harvey and her volunteers at Hands of Hope (next to K-Mart on Hogan Road) were able to bless 1,500 local area children and their families on Christmas.

At the pick up day last year, I was told by a recipient who had lost her job,  "When I lost my job I thought  my children would just have to go without this Christmas and it broke my heart.  I had never needed help for anything and I didn't know what to do.  Then someone told me about this group and I had hope again and a Holiday to give my kids.  I can't thank you enough, and I can't wait to get a new job so I can bless someone else."

There are several ways to help Kathy and Hands of Hope care for children.  If your family or office would like to adopt a family you can call 852-0520 and speak with Kathy directly.

You can also find trees with tags of Christmas wishes at any of the locations listed below.

Just pick a tag, purchase the gift and drop it off. Hands of Hope is hoping to have gifts purchased and returned by Dec. 14.  Gifts should be left unwrapped and can be dropped off at any tree location, any Wal-Mart or at Hands of Hope on Hogan Road.
