Erin Reed, executive director of Trinity Jubilee Center in Lewiston, sorts Christmas gifts for children Wednesday at Trinity Episcopal Church. She said the Holiday Wishlist Project will provide gifts for 20 children of families who cannot afford them. The gifts are donated by individuals and groups in the community, as well as five local businesses who provide names of employees who need help. Reed said one mother in 2016 wanted to make sure her two children received Christmas presents because she knew it would be her last Christmas with them. She died in May 2017.
