Volunteers at Christmas House are preparing for one of their most important missions – sending children back to school with new shoes. This project is made possible by the generous annual contribution of the N.D.H.P. Motorcycle Fraternity. Christmas House founder Alyce Reese, began this program as an outreach of the Christmas House more than 25 years ago. Only families who live in Potter County are eligible and the project is for children in preschool through grade 12.

Families who are taking advantage of the program may apply beginning Tuesday, July 21. A parent or guardian will need to supply the ages, genders and shoe sizes of each eligible child in the family. Christmas House will be open on July 21, July 28 and August 4  between the hours of 9:30 a.m. to noon to accept applications. The telephone number is 814-274-0825. If you are unable to contact us during those hours, please leave a detailed message with your name and your telephone contact and we will return your call to complete your order.

Deadline to order is August 4.

Shoes will be available for pick up at Christmas House on Tuesday, August 18 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and noon.

Christmas House is a non-profit organization piloted by volunteers and fueled by the generous support of individuals and organizations in Potter County and beyond. The First Presbyterian Church in Coudersport (402 N. Main Street) offers us space in their basement as our headquarters. Our entrance is on the north side of the building and is accessible by elevator if necessary.
