Christmas Assistance
The Sharing is Caring Christmas Club is a community project for children living in Whitfield County/Dalton City designed to provide Christmas for needy children who due to financial reasons, would not otherwise get any gifts. Our community has joined together to provide education and resources to address different topics that will help families throughout the year and allow parents to choose and give gifts to their children as well as celebrate Christmas in their own way.

When a child has a high fever, medical advice is obtained. Most likely, the child soon will be back to his or her playful and rambunctious self.
Mental health problems can be more difficult to recognize. One in five children has a diagnosable mental, emotional, or behavior problem that can lead to school failure, family discord, violence,or suicide. Help is available. However, two-thirds of children with mental health problems are not getting the help they need. Let us help them.
