For over 100 years, The Arctic League has provided gifts on Christmas morning to needy children in Chemung County.  In 2023, due to the generous support of our community through donations and volunteer hours, we were able to purchase and deliver gifts for over 1,500 families with nearly 3,100 children!

We are continuing our new tradition of delivering gifts the morning of Christmas Eve.  Don’t forget to stop by and visit our friends at the Elmira American Legion after delivering for free refreshments!
