In 1996, founder andNew York Timesbest-selling author Richard Paul Evans asked the state child-welfare system, “What is the single most important thing we can do to help Utah’s abused and neglected children?” The answer was a safe place for children who are removed from their homes because of abuse and neglect to go while the state found the best placement for them. He and his wife Keri created a safe place for Utah’s children, a Christmas Box House, naming the charity after his first novel,The Christmas Box.
The Christmas Box International partners with local, national, and international communities and organizations to prevent child abuse and improve the quality of life for children, teens and young adults who have been abused, neglected, trafficked, or are facing homelessness.
Our mission is simple:every child deserves a childhood.
