Our 2022 Spirit Gift Wrapping event was a great success due to the efforts of our volunteers who graciously gave of their time again this year. Hundreds of children in our local communities and our Aiken, South Carolina, community benefitted from the generosity of our individual and corporate donors, particularly the St. Charles Meijer store. Each child’s gifts were individually chosen from that child’s “wish list” and then beautifully wrapped. Our immense thanks go out to all of our volunteers, as we could not make a difference without their support.
As in the past, all of the hundreds of gifts were individually selected for each of the children and then beautifully wrapped by our numerous shoppers and volunteers, whom we can’t thank enough. We hope they all know how vital they are to fueling our mission to serve the less fortunate in our communities, one child at a time!
