Help a child at Carolina Children’s Home this Christmas
Carolina Children’s Home in Columbia is working to provide Christmas gifts for 60-plus children. This year you can help make Christmas a special time at the home by sponsoring a resident or cottage, volunteering to wrap gifts or by simply making a donation. Here’s how you can help:
Sponsor a child. When you sponsor a child, you will be given his or her wish list with the understanding that you can buy all the items on the list or choose only a few to purchase. The kids will ask for both practical and fun items and open their gifts on Christmas Day.
Become a cottage sponsor. The children live in cottages with as many as 16 kids in each cottage. By sponsoring a cottage, you can give a gift that all the residents can enjoy. These gifts can be group gifts: gift cards to the movies, gift certificates for haircuts or manicures.
Wrap gifts. If giving financially this year is not possible, the home always needs volunteers to donate their time to help wrap gifts. We invite both individuals and groups to come to campus and wrap during the month of December.
Give a donation through the Guardian Angel Project. When you donate $10 or more the home will honor a loved one with a personalized letter, a bookmark and a note indicating you as the giver of this very special gift.
As one of the largest and most comprehensive group homes in the state, Carolina Children’s Home serves children and adolescents from throughout South Carolina who have been the tragic victims of severe abuse, neglect or abandonment.
