Carolina Cares' 2025 Holiday Season

Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and sponsors.
Carolina Cares couldn't do it without you.

This year's holiday event was amazing! I am so proud of all that we accomplished. WE all make a wonderful team, a beautiful community of people coming together to make the magic happen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all sharing and believing in our dream and making it all possible.

To all of our clients who came out and got things for your children thank you for being so kind and patient as we pulled off this massive event in a relatively short window of time. I hope your kids are thrilled as they open their gifts on Christmas morning. It says so much about a parent's love that they'll stand out in the cold weather to get things for their children. As I tell myself when I'm tired, we do it all for the kids.

The event was a culmination of a full year's worth of work. A team of volunteers sought out donors, donations, sponsors, and volunteers. We shopped, collected, sorted, cleaned, packed, carried and labeled. We spread the word.

For those that still don't know, Carolina Cares is 100% run by volunteers and funded by donations. We are a small grassroots nonprofit but we are all dedicated, passionate, and scrappy!

I will work on some more personal thank yous later, for now, thank you SO much!

-Laura Collins, and the Carolina Cares Team
