Holiday Programs
Deep Well provides complete Thanksgiving Dinners for eligible
applicants.
Deep Well also provides Christmas Dinners. Families may be referred
by local schools or by calling the Deep Well office for details of
the application procedure.
Last
year we provided 441 Christmas Dinners and 386 Thanksgiving Dinners,
thanks in no small part to our long-time major turkey donor,
Truffles Restaurants.
Volunteers sort Christmas Presents
In both of
these volunteer run programs, we enjoy partnerships with many local
churches and charitable groups. We also are proud to say that many
local families will “adopt” a family who is less fortunate and
provide them with holiday cheer. This is a very popular program
locally. The “Adopt A Family” concept has become a Hilton Head
tradition with many locals. Last year, 543 families
received gifts through this type of program. Thanks to all the many
families, churches, groups and organizations who gave a family joy
at Christmas time.
Deep well and
its donors also provide toys and gifts for children. Toy drives such
as Rolling Thunder sponsored by a local motorcycle group, school
collections of gifts and toys, and many private donations helped
Deep Well last year to provide a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry
Christmas for many families who would not have been able to share in
these special holidays.
