CEC SEASON OF HOPE AT A GLANCE

1,200 Children
We’re working to bring Christmas joy to 1,200 at-risk children in Birdville ISD.

$120 Gift Package
Each child will receive a Christmas gift package valued at approximately $120.

$80 in Groceries
Families will also receive groceries to help provide a Christmas meal at home.

A Christmas Experience
Beyond gifts, families will enjoy a festive Christmas experience filled with food, activities, games, and opportunities to connect with caring community partners.

MORE THAN A GIFT

CEC Season of Hope is about more than what a child receives. It’s about creating a moment of joy, dignity, and connection for families who may be facing a difficult season.

Through the generosity of sponsors, churches, businesses, volunteers, and community partners, the CEC brings the community together to help families experience the hope of Christmas.
