The community has for many years served those among us who need help at Christmas with a Christmas food box and gifts for children.
If you do not live within this area, you are urged to get in touch with your local food pantry, church or other organizations for their holiday programs.
Only participants from those towns stated above can be served through Spirit of the Season.
Applications for all Spirit of the Season registrations will be held the end of this month: Oct. 26, 27 and 28.
Please bring proof of residence (current driver’s license, utility bill etc.) and if applicable, also provide proof of income. All new registrants need to bring your children’s birth certificates
If you need Spirit of the Season to provide a gift for your child please bring a list with three choices that your child would like Santa to bring if possible.
If you do not bring a list, they will give your child a generic gift that will be age appropriate. Please recognize that we cannot provide a gift that costs more than $50.
Registration will take place only at Catholic Charities Lake County Program’s office at 21257 Calistoga St. in Middletown. (This is the house between the library and the car wash on the main street in Middletown.)
The hours for registration are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 26, through Thursday, Oct. 28.
If you wish to apply only for a Christmas food box, you still have to register for the Spirit of the Season during the week of Oct. 26-28.
If you have any questions contact Hedy Montoya at 707-987-8139. Se habla Espanol.

The Senior Peer Counseling program of Konocti Senior Services Inc. is accepting applications for the Fall Volunteer Training to learn to help seniors talk through a discouraging time, cope with losses, access services and adapt to the challenges of older age.
Volunteers will share their experiences with other inspirational volunteers, engage in lively discussions, and receive weekly training in the gifts and challenges of aging.
Volunteers will learn skills such as compassionate listening, strategic coping, and clear communicating. You will learn the secrets of increasing peace of mind, reducing stress, recovering from a loss, building healthy relationships and exploring the spiritual advantages of later life.
As a volunteer, you will spend a total of about four hours a week with clients and attending a group consultation session in Lakeport or Clearlake, including a new evening session to accommodate working seniors.
The group is now accepting a limited number of applications for volunteers throughout Lake County for this free training facilitated by licensed psychotherapist Kim Baughan Young MFT, clinical supervisor; which includes experiential practice, movie clips, lively group discussion and even free lunches.
The training will be held on three Mondays beginning Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Konocti Senior Support’s Senior Peer Counseling program has helped hundreds of Lake County seniors and is rapidly expanding, so please call 707-995-1417 for your application today.
