Onslow County Christmas Cheer! Spread it around!!

Onslow Christmas Cheer, begun in the early '70s, is a program run completely on donations from the community and volunteers so that children and families can experience a Christmas, when they otherwise might have had to go without!  Onslow Christmas Cheer helps needy families and their children by providing gifts for children up to 12 years of age, supplies and personal items for older children and seniors, and a box of food for the whole family.
In 2012, the community program helped 5,100 individuals, 1,474 families and gave 42,015 toys- all within Onslow County!!

It's easy to help!  You can donate toys to the Christmas Cheer Center at the old Army Reserve Center on Drummer Kellum Road, or if you'd like to make a financial donation, you may bring it to the Christmas Cheer Center on Court Street.  
Others choose to sponsor a family.  There are thousands of applicants, for various reasons.  And whatever those reasons are, it's never the children's fault.  Sponsoring a family can be very rewarding, however you must be able to also offer compassion and love in the spirit of Christmas.  This website will show you some of the available cases that you can choose from to sponsor this holiday season.  If you have any questions, please contact Shelly Bishop at 910.545.4869.
Giving back is the true spirit of the holiday season.  Spread the cheer!
