As of Christmas Eve, all 710 families that applied for assistance were helped through the Adopt-a-Family Christmas program.

According to AFL-CIO Executive Director Penny Adams, an additional 25 families that did not apply were also helped.

Each year, the program matches up needy families with donors, who supply Christmas gifts in a number of ways.

Adams said the agency will be closed to the public until January 3rd but their phones will be answered at (816) 364-1131.
