Holiday Cheer Needs Sponsors

You can help make the holidays brighter for needy individuals, young and old. Wake County Human Services is in need of sponsors for its annual "Holiday Cheer" program. Holiday Cheer is a program designed to provide resources to low-income households with children, senior citizens or disabled adults. This year, more than 2,500 households are requesting assistance through the program. To date, just over 800 of these have been sponsored.

Sponsors may be individuals, groups, organizations, clubs, etc. Sponsoring a household usually involves providing food and/or gifts for household members. Sponsors may also choose to set up "Angel Trees" to provide items for the households. Sponsors are not limited to sponsoring one household.

In lieu of sponsoring a specific household, financial contributions may be mailed to:

P.O. Box 46833
Raleigh, NC 27620.
