Nearly 130 teenagers with health and financial hardships from Door and Kewaunee counties will get special assistance this Christmas thanks to volunteers and generous donations. Organizer Sammy Olivia and her family started the “Bless A Teen For Christmas” last year and helped 157 children ages 13 to 19. Starting the program again last month, Olivia says the impact is being felt from Sister Bay all the way to Kewaunee.
Donations can be made at Nicolet National Bank locations and gift cards of any amount can be dropped off at various Door and Kewaunee stores with the “Gingerbread House” donation boxes. Teens were nominated from different programs and churches and submitted a “wish list”. The deadline to drop off donations is Thursday, December 23.
