Seasonal Programs

Community Action Committee Offers Three Holiday Programs

In November, there’s “Turkey for Cape Codders”. In December, for Cape Cod teens, there’s “Make a Teen Happy!” and for children of the Town of Barnstable we distribute “Toys for Tots”. Community partners promote and support these activities with volunteers and donations. Registration is required.
