Christmas in the City (http://www.christmasinthecity.org), a 100% volunteer organization, will hold its 28th Annual Holiday Party this December and is expecting to serve more than the 20,000 children they supported last year; CITC hosted 5,000 children and moms living in shelters, hotels or transitional housing at their annual Winter Wonderland celebration and they distributed toys and clothing, serving more than 15,000 more children, the following day to families who had fallen on hard times and otherwise might find nothing under the tree!

Proceeds raised from Christmas in July will support Christmas in the City and the Seaport Hotel will again serve as a toy drop-off location this winter for CITC where you can drop off toys in their lobby or with their valet in December.
