Holiday Cheer

Many low-income households and individuals who receive services from Wake County Human Services are hoping for a little help making this a brighter holiday season. The Holiday Cheer program annually provides anything from fruit baskets and gifts to homebound elderly and disabled adults, to "Santa" for households with children. Human Services clients may apply through 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26. Call 212-7000 for schedule or additional information.

Holiday Cheer is made possible entirely through the generosity of individual and group sponsors. Groups may be churches, civic or fraternal clubs, offices or businesses, neighborhoods, etc. Participation can include "adopting" or sponsoring a household, having a toy drive, taking a name from an "Angel Tree" or financial contributions to the program.

Volunteers will also be needed beginning the middle of December to pick up and deliver items and to work at the distribution site.

If you would like to get involved, call 212-7020, 212-7021 or 212-7819.
