Christmas for Kids Event

Christmas for Kids (CFK) is a grassroots program, and we can’t thank our family, friends, and neighbors enough for being so generous year after year.

Without their support, CFK would not be the success it is today. We would also like to thank the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) District Council of Hampton Roads in Norfolk, ILA Local 1248, and Oceanfront Dentistry for their generous donations in support of the CHK’s program.
