Annual Holiday Giving and Wish List Program
Each year, the Center for Family Violence Prevention holds the annual Holiday Giving and Wish List Program. This program connects generous sponsors with families and clients in need, ensuring they not only receive Christmas gifts, but also a sense of independence and hope.Â
Each family is assigned a sponsor who can fulfill their wish list, which includes essential needs and joyful Christmas toys.Â
If you would like to participate in becoming a sponsor today, please contact Shirley Mitchell at smithchell@c4fvp.org or call 252-758-4400 to learn more.Â
