      RCCCC Staff has begun its Christmas planning for 2009.  We have already had families contacting us to find out if adults will be able to join our Christmas Investors' Program in order to earn gifts for their children who still live at home.

      We have sponsored this program for three years now because it gives adults an opportunity to provide gifts for children that they have earned through their sweat equity as volunteers at our Home Store or in the Food Pantry.  That work experience can be valuable as training for paid employment in addition to boosting self-esteem because the adult has truly provided Christmas for the family without asking for a handout.

      What we now need is your commitment in order to make this gift real for Robeson County families.

      If your family, work group, Sunday school class, church or community organization would like to become a partner by providing gifts for us to put in our Christmas Store, we would like to know that as soon as your group decides it wants to become involved.  Call the office at 910.738.5204 to leave a message, or email the director at rccccdir@ncrrbiz.com. 

      We need your gifts before Wednesday, December 16 because the Christmas Store will be open by appointment for all investors on December 18, 19 and 21.

      Most needed gifts are small electronic games for boys between 8 and 12, sports equipment and educational games.  Next needed is cash donations so we can provide $50.00 gift certificates for teens and $20.00 gift certificates for mothers and grandmothers who often are raising children alone. 

      We also appreciate warm clothes, scarves, caps, gloves for all ages (child - adult) and a few gifts for senior citizens. 

      Please send new gifts only.
