CHRISTMAS CHEER IS SEEKING SPONSORS FOR 1,500 NEEDY CHILDREN
AND 195 ELDERLY

In our community right now there are people who are not expecting Christmas to be very bright. They may have fallen on hard times. They may be ill, alone, or elderly.  They may be unemployed, unable to work, or unable to walk, and therefore unable to provide Christmas for their children. 

Would you like to help keep hope alive in the heart of a child or an elderly person this holiday season? Call (336-229-9969) or email (christmascheer@att.net).

Clubs, churches, businesses, office groups, families, extended families, and individuals are invited to experience the joy of giving this Christmas. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Here are a few of your neighbors in need of a sponsor:
