If giving back is part of your holiday traditions, Canopy has a variety of ways you can get involved and give the Gift of JOY and HOPE to children and families across Mississippi.
Stockings and Stuffers
Every child should have their very own stocking to enjoy on Christmas morning. Provide a child with some necessities and holiday cheer in a brightly colored stocking. Sign up here to get started!
24 Nights of Christmas – Delivered
Nestled in their pajamas, our children find joy in hearing a story of hope during a nightly storytime throughout the 24 Nights of Christmas. This year, while social distancing, you can bring joy to a child by delivering a favorite holiday book to be read by our staff; along with treats, craft sets, coloring sheets or games for our children. Santa will not object to you being one of his many helpers. Sign up by clicking the button below. (Jackson or Vicksburg)

To help grant a child’s wish with a virtual purchase from the SMCAC Amazon Smile Wish List and we’ll do the rest!
