Low-income families are signing up for help providing holiday gifts to their children. And that means there's a need for volunteers to sponsor those families.

The Salt Lake County Community Christmas Council will take applications from families who need Christmas help through Dec. 14. For information on how to apply, call 565-4792.And this year, council volunteers report, there seems to be more need than in past years.

The Deseret News Sub for Santa program asks volunteer sponsors to adopt a family and provide a few gifts for the children, as well as some food for a holiday dinner, if it's needed.
