Common Ground Network Holiday Assistance

Many families in the Mansfield community struggle throughout the year to meet their basic needs. For some of these families, the additional burden of providing Christmas gifts for their children is beyond their ability. Through Common Ground Network, these families can apply for Christmas gift assistance. Common Ground coordinates the application process, enabling our local churches, businesses and organizations to provide for these children.

The Common Ground Network is a group of churches and organizations who work together to help families in the Mansfield area. If you live in the Mansfield ISD and your family is not able to provide any Christmas gifts for your children, you may qualify for assistance through their Christmas program.

If your church or organization would like to participate as a sponsor for some of the children, please contact Pam Brady at Pamela.brady[at]ymail.com.

Also, if you know of a family who could benefit from this program, please download the Common Ground Christmas Assistance Flyer and share with them.

Mansfield ISD is a partner with the Common Ground Network.
