Wentzville School District Holiday Assistance Program

District seeks help to aid 400 families.

Each year in December the Holiday Assistance Program helps to provide gifts for needy students and their families. Last year over 350 families and more than 1,000 children received assistance in this charitable effort.

The program, coordinated by the Wentzville School District Community Relations Department and the school counselors, works with a variety of community groups to help make the upcoming holidays more enjoyable for struggling families. In our schools, students and staff do a variety of things to raise money and collect gifts, and many families are adopted by their own caring school community.

This year the number of families who need assistance has grown, and the District is seeking help to ensure that everyone has a few presents to enjoy.
