To apply for the Make a Better Christmas Assistance Program our FRYSC's will continue to require the same income verification process that has been used in previous years, which is the same low income verification used for SNAP and Medicaid benefits.
Please bring with you to your appointment:
*Proof of income for the household: including pay stubs, SSI or SSDI benefit letters, SNAP and KTAP benefit letters, and/or proof of child support.
*Copies of recent bills, such as: KU, gas, water, and rent or mortgage payments.
*A wish list for each child with gift ideas to be listed on the Angel Tree. If you do not bring gift ideas for your child's Christmas gifts, we will not be able to place your child on the Angel Tree.
*Clothing sizes and shoe sizes for each child. Please specify whether the size is toddler, youth or adult.
*In addition, one new requirement has been added for this year: Students must have three (3) or fewer UNEXCUSED absences during the application period, beginning September 28th through October 30th.
This requirement applies to UNEXCUSED absences only. We understand that children may occasionally need to miss school due to illness, medical appointments, family circumstances, or other valid reasons. Excused absences will NOT count toward this requirement.
Deadline to apply is October 30, 2026
