remembering the needy and underprivileged children at christmas time

As we stand at the forefront of a new season, it's time to rally our spirits and embrace the unwavering commitment that defines us as a community. The Columbus Firemen's Cheer Fund is not just an organization; it's a lifeline for families in need during the holidays.

This year, we are calling on every one of you to step up and show your grit. Our mission is clear: to ensure that no child goes without a gift, no family feels alone, and every deserving neighbor receives the support they need.

Donations of any size can spark change—donate your time, your resources, or simply spread the word. Together, we can create a tidal wave of generosity that restores hope and fosters warmth.

Join us in this powerful movement. Be bold, be generous, and let’s make this holiday season unforgettable for those in need. The time is now. Stand with us, and let’s light up our community like never before remembering the needy and underprivileged children at Christmas time!

Uncover our story

Founded in 1930 by the Columbus Fire Department, some caring firemen saw a need where underprivileged children would see few, if any, gifts under the Christmas tree. Today, with help from the public and numerous volunteers, toys are delivered to many of those children in the Bartholomew County area so that they too can enjoy the Christmas holiday.
