Volunteers gather at Walmart in Portland to shop for Secret Families Christmas Charity of Jay County in 2019. On Saturday, Dec. 6, the organization will hold its 10th shopping, wrapping and delivering day to ensure that families in need in Jay County are able to celebrate the holiday season. Co-founders Conny Knight and Kadie Hall said there are typically at least 150 volunteers who participate in the shopping portion of the day. They encouraged more volunteers, including local athletic teams and service groups, to get involved. “It’s a very powerful statement from your community or for someone to see when they don't think they're gonna get Christmas at all,” said Knight.
