Our mission is simple: to ensure no family in Hamilton County goes without Christmas. While we may live in a prosperous community, over 15,000 of our neighbors fall below the poverty line. Whether it be the illness or death of a parent, loss of a job, natural disaster, or another circumstance, these families truly need the help we are providing and we are committed to showing these families that their neighbors see them.
Secret Families has been helping families in need in the Hamilton County area since 2014. Our referrals come exclusively from local schools throughout Hamilton County. Because the schools see the needs first hand, we ask them for family recommendations.
Based on a parent interview, we provide tailored Christmas gifts for each family member that include both 'wants' and 'needs', along with a fully-decorated Christmas tree, a Bible, toiletries, cleaning/household supplies and a gift certificate for Christmas dinner.
In 2024 we served 81 families and almost 400 individuals. Our goal for 2025 is to serve over 100 families!
Just as importantly,
our volunteers get the opportunity to show unconditional love for our neighbors and provided joy and hope during a season of their lives where they desperately need it. In our eyes, that is the true gift.
