CRAWFORD COUNTY, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—This holiday season, the spirit of giving shone brightly in Crawford County as Project Noelle provided Christmas gifts to 137 children from 52 local families, ensuring every child felt the magic and joy of the season.

Project Noelle is a nonprofit founded by Keli Clark in memory of her daughter, Noelle Maschari, who was lost to addiction. After witnessing firsthand, the challenges children face when affected by the opioid epidemic, Keli created Project Noelle to support kids who have lost parents or caregivers to addiction, or who are living in difficult situations. What started as a deeply personal mission has grown into a vital organization offering year-round support, comfort, and hope to families in need.

Beyond holiday giving, Project Noelle provides year-round assistance to children impacted by the opioid crisis and other hardships. Their programs include emergency clothing and diaper supplies, back-to-school help, youth support groups, community events, and resources designed to make children feel safe, valued, and cared for every day.

This year’s Christmas program in Crawford County was made possible by the generosity of local businesses, organizations, and community members who came together to make a difference. Their support ensured children received gifts, essential items, and the reassurance that their community stands behind them.
