12 Hours of Christmas-Gastonia

Least of These Carolinas is hosting an event called 12 Hours of Christmas for children in foster/kinship care We collect wish lists from the children and ask the community to sponsor the children for Christmas. 

In December, the children and their caregivers are invited to our event where the caregivers see the gift the sponsors bought before they are wrapped.  It is a fun filled day for the children and families. 

Sponsoring a child or children is crucial to making this event a success. We could not do this without the support of generous, caring people like you.

Gastonia Child Sponsorship 2023

Here's what you need to know before you sign up:

• We urge you to spend $150-$175 and no more per child.
• We recommend you buy items from the child's wish list, but you do not have to buy everything on the list.
• Do not wrap the gifts!
• Only new items for these children please
• If a child has a letter by their name, it means the other children with the same number but different ending letters live together.
