Help a local family this holiday season

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:01:09 +0000

Union County Neighbors is sponsoring a family of four for Christmas this year.

We’re teaming up with The Union County Christmas Bureau to provide gifts for a local family. The family we’ve “adopted” is a family of four, and we’re counting on you -the local community- to ChipIn to help make sure they are able to enjoy the spirit of the Holiday Season. We’ll be using all donations made to purchase clothes, toys, and Christmas dinner for this family, as well as Christmas stockings for all the children.
