We are accepting new and unwrapped toys, books, clothing, and gift cards, as well as monetary donations. For everyone who donates a $20 toy or makes a $20 minimum monetary donation, will be entered into a drawing for $2600 from Ingles Markets, that will be announced on Star 104.3.
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 can register for a shopping appointment at the St. Nicholas Toy Store by visiting eblencharities.org. Eblen Charities has served our community for over 30 years by providing assistance with essential items and those little extras-like a holiday gift for a beloved child.
