Pantex Christmas Project Accepting Applications

Applications for the Pantex Christmas Project are now available from counselors at Amarillo and Canyon public schools, the Amarillo Public Library or by calling 477-5533 and requesting an application by mail. This year, the applications will also be available at www.pantex.com Applications are available in English and Spanish and must be postmarked by October 12, 2012. Families in Amarillo and the surrounding area are eligible to apply.

Pantex employees have been supporting the Pantex Christmas Project for more than 55 years. The Project will serve approximately 150 children and a number of elderly individuals. Selected families receive food, and each child will receive clothing and toys. Notices will be sent to families informing them if their application has been accepted. Families will be assisted one time only and are asked to not submit an application if they have received assistance from the Project in the past.

Please help us call attention to this important opportunity for families that may need assistance this Christmas.
