LCCG4K completes second year of holiday giving

Lincoln County Christmas Gifts 4 Kids completed its second year of holiday gift distribution, serving families across Lincoln County. Through community donations and volunteer support, the organization provided presents for 116 children from 49 families in Caliente, Panaca, Pioche and Alamo.

During the first week of December, parents and guardians visited designated pickup locations to collect Christmas gifts for their children. County Christmas volunteers and donors helped ease holiday stress for families while ensuring children had gifts to open on Christmas morning. Donations included toys, books, games, electronics, stocking stuffers, gift cards and wrapping supplies.

LCCG4K volunteers shared that community support exceeded expectations in just the program’s second year, with an overwhelming response from residents and local supporters. Organizer Sharon Giampapa expressed appreciation for the generosity shown throughout the county, noting that the effort would not have been possible without widespread participation. The continued growth of the program has highlighted the strong sense of community in Lincoln County and the willingness of residents to step up for local families in need.

Lincoln County Christmas Gifts 4 Kids relies on donations, volunteers and community partnerships to carry out its mission each holiday season. Organizers extended their thanks to everyone who contributed, helped organize donations or supported the effort in any way, emphasizing that the collective response made a meaningful difference for families throughout the county. Preparation for the 2026 season is set to begin in the spring, with donation collection continuing throughout the year.
