Holiday smiles were on tap for 175 kids thanks to HCC Christmas Angels.
High Country Caregivers this past month helped families celebrate the holidays through the generosity of Christmas Angels who sponsored 175 kids who are being raised by their grandparents and other relatives in Mitchell, Yancey, Avery, Watauga, Wilkes and Ashe counties.
The “Angels” purchased clothing, coats, shoes, bikes, toys, books and art supplies to surprise HCC kids with on Christmas morning.
HCC is grateful for the outpouring of love in the community toward children and teens.
HCC partnered with The Health and Hunger Coalition which provided turkeys for each HCC family, Watauga Opportunities which has its employees work all year assembling gift baskets and The Motherboard which assembled and gifted Christmas stockings which were both distributed by Santa and Mrs. Claus at HCC’s holiday party on Dec. 16 at Chetola Lodge.
Families across the six counties came together and enjoyed a holiday feast, got family photographs taken by a professional photographer and celebrated a year of connection and community.
HCC is honored to serve the grandparents and other family members who are raising their young relatives. To become part of the High Country Caregivers family, email pana@highcountrycaregivers.com or call 832-6366.
