Task Force Kringle
APPLICATION PERIOD IS CLOSED FOR 2023
In 2018, 22 Until None instituted their Christmas program for veteran families in need. That year, with help from some sponsors, we helped 11 families. In 2019 it grew to 18 families. For 2020 we helped 31 families. Application period opens Oct 1 every year and ends on Oct 31. Recipients are notified by Nov 1, so gifts will arrive by Christmas. Each family has up to $1000 to spend on Amazon for gifts, including shipping and tax.
IN THE PAST 5 YEARS WE'VE HELPED 91 FAMILIES FOR TFK!
