For the elderly, the disabled, and others families with critical needs, Christmas in October has been providing home renovations for the past 24 years. This year, the big day is October 11, and while CIO will still be helping at least 400 families, they have more than 600 on their list. CIO is hoping to find both individuals and groups (businesses, churches, schools, agencies, etc.) who are willing to give just one day to make a lasting change in people’s lives. This “Christmas” is drawing near, and the push is on. For information on the organization, how the Event Day works, or becoming a volunteer, visit their website, Christmas in October.
