Haywood-Christmas in the Mtns

Least of These Carolinas is hosting an event called Christmas in the Mountains in Maggie Valley for children in foster/kinship care. We collect wish lists from the children and ask the community to sponsor them. In December, the children and their caregivers are invited to the event where the caregiver sees the gifts before they are wrapped. The gifts are then wrapped by our volunteers and are ready for Christmas morning! It’s a fun-filled day for the children and their families.

Sponsoring a child or children is crucial to the success of the event. This event would not be possible without generous, caring people like you!

We're requesting that sponsors limit their contributions to $100 per child. This adjustment helps ensure a fair distribution of gifts, as many children receive support from multiple sources such as licensing agencies, counties, and community programs. By setting this new limit, we aim to still meet children's needs with either a significant item or several smaller ones.

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

• We urge you to spend $100 and no more on the 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.

The gifts must be dropped off at the drop off location Calvary Road Baptist Church, 2701 Soco Rd., Maggie Valley, NC  on Saturday, November 16, 3:00-6:00

No late gifts will be accepted.
