RIchmond Christmas Mother Fund

For more than 90 years, the Richmond Christmas Mother Fund has helped make the holiday season brighter for families in need across the Richmond region. Founded in 1935, the Fund was created to ensure every child and family could experience the joy of Christmas. Today, supported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and administered by United Way, the tradition continues – providing toys, gifts, clothing, and food through local nonprofit partners.
