The Hood River County Christmas Project will begin to take registrations from those who need assistance with food and children’s gifts on Sunday.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Project’s Bruce Holmson says they will be doing all of their sign-ups online at hoodrivercountychristmasproject.com or by phone.  Holmson added they will be trying to contact families who signed up last year by phone over the next week to see if they want to sign up again.  Those without access to the Internet can call 541-490-9581.  Families who live in Hood River County that currently meet State of Oregon low income eligibility standards can apply to receive assistance from the Christmas Project.  This year that will come in the form of a food gift card and toy gift cards for each child.
