About us...

In 1971, the Franklin Township Civic League saw a need for Franklin Township to provide some Christmas assistance to families in the community that were experiencing financial hardships. The League saw this as a wonderful opportunity for the township to come together as a community. 2026 will mark the 55th year that the Franklin Township Civic League has coordinated the Franklin Township Community Christmas Drive. Since its beginning, the Mary Meier Community Christmas Drive within the Franklin Township Civic League has brought joy to our neighbors in our community, assisting families who suffer financial hardship. Hundreds of children have been clothed, fed, and shared the joy of some new toys through the generosity of our community's schools, churches, residents, businesses, and organizations, whose collective donations and support make these efforts possible. 

There are so many pieces that must come together to make this mission a success. You, too, can make this mission possible.
