Last year the Saint Nicholas Project provided holiday gifts to more than 3,000 local children. Parents and guardians living in or at the edge of poverty as well as Hurricane Helene victims can register for a shopping appointment at the St. Nicholas Toy Store by visiting www. eblencharities.org. Eblen Charities has served our community for over 33 years by helping families with essential needs and those little extras-like a holiday gift for a beloved child.
