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 who continue to serve the residents of Henrico. The Henrico Christmas Mother Program relies on hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donors to provide new clothes, toys, books and food to nearly 6,000 Henrico County residents who need our help during the holiday season:
· Low income families
· The elderly
· Adults with disabilities

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.
