Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home is a steadfast supporter of Project Bethlehem, Lazarus House’s annual Christmas giving program, bringing the joy of Christmas to families for over 30 years.

Sponsors receive a specific list of a family’s Christmas wishes. Using the guidelines below, the expenditure is roughly $85-$100 per person based on family make-up. This includes toys/gifts for children under 18 years old and food/clothing gift cards for all family members; a total Christmas experience.    

For the household

  • One $50 gift card for a household item, store preference is provided
  • Gift card(s) to Market Basket based on family size:
  • $25 for family of two
  • $50 for family of 3-4 people
  • $75 for family of 5-6 people
  • $100 for family 7+

For each child under 18 years old

  • One $35 gift card for clothing, store preference provided  
  • 2 new toys/gifts (under $40), child’s toy/gift preferences provided 

For each adult (includes parent(s) and other adults in the household who are 18 years+)

  • One $35 gift card per person, store preference provided 

Sponsor sign–up begins in mid-September. Project Bethlehem starts receiving family’s wishes in mid-October. Matching begins as soon as we have a pool of family referrals and continues on a rolling basis. Once matched with a family, sponsors are given a drop off date 2-3 weeks later to deliver all wrapped gifts back to Lazarus House.   

Project Bethlehem is located at 412 Hampshire Street in Lawrence. All gifts will be delivered and picked up from this location.   

Project Bethlehem provides gift cards instead of physical gifts for adults to honor individuals’ dignity of choice. 

Please follow the link below to sponsor a family facing challenging times.

Thank you from, The Kenneth H Pollard Funeral Home Team.
