Every year YFC hosts a Christmas Party for all our families, a time to celebrate the season and bless our foster families.  Four years ago a foster mom, Becky Rhodes, a prior teacher decided that she wanted to start the Hand-in-Hand program to celebrate our foster kids with her students. Becky is no longer a teacher but now a staff at YFC and every year since she has worked tirelessly to recruit churches, businesses, and individual families to help sponsor this night.

On December 17th, 2009 over 100 families gathered to celebrate Christmas. Youth for Christ was honored to sever 248 Children; these children included, foster, adopted, and biological children of TYFC foster families. Children in Receiving Care that were placed hours before the party and After Care children received gifts as well. What a blessing it was to TYFC staff to watch over 200 children open presents and celebrate the season.

The night included a catered dinner for all, Christmas crafts, Carol singing, Elfs named Gumdrop and Sprinkles, and present time!!! Below are some pictures of our favorite Elves!
