2024 Christmas WishList

Was a HUGE success!

Thank you to everyone who donated, adopted, delivered and handed out gifts.  This night could not have happened without you! 

We had 425 individuals receive gifts...of course we had a few hiccups but everything was sorted!

We will work on getting some pictures and stories out over the holidays for you to check out!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Praying you have a Merry Christmas!

2024 Stories

New space

This year was special because we  were finally able to host the Wishlist is a space large enough. In past years folks had to line up outside in whatever weather might be stirring.  This year in our new space at 177 Church St everyone was warm inside while we hosted the event!

Extended family

We have had one long time guest who is a single senior and is always incredibly thankful for the generosity and care people extend during the Wishlist.  They had a new grand daughter this year and had asked if they could get a gift for her.  The joy on their face to be able to give something to her as well was priceless!

Local businesses

Bradford is blessed to have some incredibly generous businesses.  Sweet B's Bakery once again did cookies for everyone on the wishlist and Starbucks East and West provided the best hot chocolate all night. Plus Hillside Photography, Robin Evans, Morrison CPA, and a local family's bowling fundraiser (plus so many others) helped make Christmas wishes happen.

Schools

Over the last couple of years we have started having schools reach out to adopt whole families.  This year both St. Angela Merici and Holy Trinity adopted 20 families! It was incredible to see the teachers, student's and their families' generosity. Thank you to all the teachers and staff who went beyond their jobs to make this happen!
