Who We Are:
Neighbors helping neighbors. The Henrico Christmas Mother is selected by the Henrico Christmas Mother Council, a group of former Henrico Christmas Mothers and Annual Members committed to helping our neighbors. The Henrico Christmas Mother Program relies on hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donors to provide new clothes, toys, books and food to more than 6,000 Henrico County residents who need our help during the holiday season. We serve:
- Low income families with children
- Qualifying seniors
- Adults with disabilities

The little guy in the photo with this year's Henrico Christmas Mother doesn't know how hard his mom works to keep food in his tummy, heat their home, or make sure he has warm clothes to wear. But we're sure he knows she loves him. Please join us in helping this working mom and others share in the joy of the holiday season.

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. Since 1942, we have helped thousands of families, thanks to the generosity of individuals, families and businesses over the years.
