Who are we?
Christmas in Action of Wayne County (CIA) was formed as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2005. Supported by the Canton Township board of directors, CIA Wayne is modeled on the national Christmas in Action organization (christmasinaction.org). CIA provides free home repairs for elderly, disabled and low-income homeowners. Volunteers provide repairs to make the home safe and functional, while improving the community as a whole. The actual repairs take place on a single event day, which is scheduled for the last Saturday in April each year.An all-volunteer board of directors heads up CIA Wayne. Meeting at 6:30PM on First Monday of each month at the Canton Administration Building, 1150 S. Canton Center Rd. They solicit applications from homeowners in need, and raise monies and materials to enable performance of needed repairs. Companies and individuals within the community provide the expertise needed to ensure repairs are done correctly, and volunteers provide all the finishing touches to show that we care about each individual in the community, providing those most in need with a real Christmas in Action.
