Our Story
Helping Waukesha County Children Since 1949
Since 1949, the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County has been promoting and coordinating the giving to families in need during the Christmas season. We provide a clearinghouse that matches families with area groups, families, businesses, and individuals who wish to help people less fortunate in our community. In 2019, we coordinated giving to more than 1,900 families and nearly 4,300 children in Waukesha County.

Client Testimonials
“I want to thank you for everything. You not only helped me by allowing my son to have a Merry Christmas for most of his childhood, but you also suggested other agencies that have helped us. My baby has grown up and is now succeeding with honor roll mentions for his first year at college. He’s a smart kid and I credit you with helping develop that with allowing him to have a Christmas that was filled with love and having a few gifts under the tree from Santa. Childhood develops the adult, and my son is becoming a wonderful adult who wants to become a teacher. So, thank you. God Bless you. I hope you are able to give this love to many, many families for years to come.” - 2020 Client
“This year has been crazy for sure. I will remember it with a warm heart because of your love. You didn’t have to help and donate your time…. but you did. Because of your love, my boys will have Christmas. Santa won’t forget them. They will know they are loved. They are our future lights of the world and they will continue expressing the love to others. My heart is full and this is my warm hug.” - 2020 Client
