Buncombe County calls for holiday gifts for kids

Press Release

Buncombe County Government

Each year, children in foster care (ages 5-18), need sponsors to help fulfill their Christmas wish lists. Give a gift that really counts this holiday season – sponsor a wish list for a child, a teen, or a sibling group of children in foster care! By making the small choice to provide a foster child with their Christmas wish list, you can lift their spirits and give back to the community in a big way.

All gifts should be purchased and returned to the Buncombe County Health & Human Services by December 10.

Please contact Lisa Melton at 250-5881 for more information.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please contact Families for Kids at 828-250-5868 or familiesforkids@buncombecounty.org.
