Christmas Is For Kids Launches Early

BANGOR — Christmas is for Kids brings the holiday spirit to life for local children and families in need through the charitable act of gift-giving. This 40-year tradition is a partnership between Penquis and Blueberry Broadcasting and allows community members to sponsor a child or family this holiday season. This year 1,200 children can be found on the Christmas is for Kids website waiting for a holiday sponsor. “Due to increased needs, the anticipation of longer shipping times and difficulties finding items on the shelves, we worked with our agency partners to launch the Christmas is for Kids site early and in time for Black Friday shoppers,” states Renae Muscatell, community relations manager, Penquis.
