Christmas Blessings Program

Christmas Blessings

The City of Hurricane organizes the Christmas Blessings program each year to help Putnam County families who are in need of gifts for their children. The City takes applications (which require supporting documentation of need) beginning in September from families then seeks community sponsors or donors for each child. Sponsors may opt to shop for their sponsored child personally or make a donation so that others may shop. For more information, you may email ChristmasBlessings@hurricanewv.com.
