DETROIT – An organization that provides Christmas gifts for metro Detroit children who are affected by homicide has had to cancel its party this year because of a lack of donations.
For the past two years, the organization Mothers of Murdered Children has held "A Never Forgotten Christmas" for children who have lost a parent to homicide.
Party organizer Brenda Miller said donations in past years have filled a storage unit, but this year, there's not nearly enough.
"It's disappointing. We try to give the kids Santa Claus or Christmas that they wouldn't ordinarily have," Miller said.
If you can help the cause, donate a toy, coat, gloves, hat, scarves or money to the organization through the following ways:
- Mail donation to: MOMC, P.O. Box 12362, Hamtramck, MI, 48212
- By phone: 313-473-9666
