This Christmas season, we’re partnering with CBF Field Personnel Scarlette Jasper’s Olive Branch Ministry, which has coordinated Christmas Boxes for Appalachia for the past 11 years. Last year, this initiative provided over 4,000 boxes to local schools in the Appalachian region of Kentucky and Tennessee, in some of the poorest areas of America. Through our partnership, Christmas Boxes for Appalachia will add an emphasis on teenagers in those regions and now in western North Carolina.
Many of the programs that have provided Christmas for families in WNC are back up and running this year, but there is always a shortage of gifts for teenagers. That is why we are coordinating this effort to provide Christmas gift bags/backpacks filled with items and gift cards for teenagers. Like last year, we will work through the CBFNC churches in WNC to distribute the gifts you all share. Our goal is to provide 250 bags/backpacks to teens in WNC; anything donated over that will be contributed to Christmas Boxes for Appalachia.
Thank You, CBFNC, for once again rising to the opportunity to serve teenagers in western North Carolina. Christmas for the Mountains is bringing joy to a group of young people who often feel overlooked. If you didn’t get a chance to put together a bag but want to participate, there is plenty of time to donate to CBFNC for Christmas for the Mountains so we can complete the project.
