A Soldier's Child started its Family to Family Christmas program to give back to the families of our servicemen and women who have sacrificed so much. Lost in the busyness of the Christmas season are the children of those who serve - who will wake up Christmas morning missing mom or dad and perhaps not understanding why they can't be there.

With your help, hundreds of young children from nearby Ft. Campbell, whose parent is currently deployed overseas, might have a reason to smile when they wake on Christmas day.

There are two ways to participate in ASC's Family to Family Christmas:

1. Make a Donation: Donate now so we can reach as many children as possible this Christmas. Your donations are appreciated, and A Soldier's Child is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts are tax deductible.

2. Sponsor a Family: Make a personal connection by selecting a military family to sponsor. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to teach your own children about giving and the true meaning of Christmas.

Here's How Sponsoring a Family Works:

STEP ONE: You will first select a military family to sponsor (click here). We have families with one and families with as many as six children available for sponsorship.

STEP TWO: You will purchase gifts for each child. Our goal is for each to receive 3-4 gifts with an overall value of $40 or more per child. We have compiled a list of suggested gift items for various age groups, which you may view here. Many families have provided a "wish list" for each child.

STEP THREE: The gifts you purchased should be dropped off at one of three drop-off locations on Saturday, December 10. The locations are The People's Church (Franklin, TN), Christian Life Church (Murfreesboro, TN), and First Baptist Church (Clarksville, TN). Please Note: Gifts should not be wrapped when they arrive. The drop-off locations will be open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and you may drop-off or drop-off and wrap (materials provided) at each location.  We will deliver the gifts to the recipient families the following week.

STEP FOUR (optional): We encourage you to include a personal note to the recipient family, and if desired, you may include your contact information. Many times the recipient family wishes to send a note of thanks back to the sponsoring family, and this will allow them to do so.
