How We Began:
During World War II, Mrs. George Nelson, a Henrico County schoolteacher, asked her students to fill Christmas food baskets for local families in need during World War II. Since 1942, we have helped thousands of families, thanks to the generosity of individuals, families and businesses over the years.
