THE DILEMMA

Want to get your children gifts for the holidays but don’t have room in your budget?

The Holiday program makes the holiday season a little brighter by allowing parents to go to our holiday store and choose unwrapped toys for their children. In addition, participants can pick up non-perishable food and winter coats for the family.

Metrocrest Services provides help to people who live in Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Farmers Branch, and the city of Dallas in Denton County (ZIP code 75287). If you do not live in one of the cities we serve, click here to find resources available near you.
