Marion Community Christmas Program

The Marion Community Christmas Program is a local charitable organization previously known as 'The White Gift Service,' with a history of community service going back to the 1930's.

Money collected goes for food gift certificates to needy families during the holiday season. Poinsettias are delivered to shut-ins and patients at local nursing homes and hospitals and again at Easter they deliver hyacinths to shut-ins, nursing homes, and hospitals.
