Connie and Curtis are partnering with the Kent County Department of Human Services program to ensure that some local needy children experience the magic of Christmas in a good way!

Connie and Curtis Christmas Kids is a Christmas toys, books, arts and crafts kits and personal care drive for children in foster care from newborns to high school age kids.

We've expanded upon last year's effort by including 3 online registries to help you shop and by adding more drop-off locations!

We like to leave other items at the dollar stores for the families to purchase if they are trying to stretch a tight budget.
