I'm a special education teacher at an inner city school and The Spirit of Christmas started in the basement of my house 10 years ago. It's purpose was and still is, to HELP children, their families, local area veterans and the homeless enjoy Christmas through presents, food, and other necessities that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford. Over the past 10 years, we were able to help over 400 children and their families, bought meals for over 300 homeless adults, raised over $7000 for local area Veterans and $2000 for Special Olympic Athletes. Last year, we set a Record of raising $13,600!!!Please look at the flyer below and feel free to come and enjoy the festivities or donate on line. EVERY LITTLE bit helps. Thank you and Blessing,pjSpirit of Christmas Foundation ......Watervliet NY
