WCCA, Toys for Tots collect donations for families in need

Press release from Western Carolina Community Action:

It’s been a tough year, but thanks to a longtime partnership between Toys for Tots and Western Carolina Community Action, along with the support of thousands of elves across our region, over 171 boys and girls enrolled in WCCA’s early childhood education programs will wake up on Christmas morning to find presents under their tree!

Each year, WNC Toys for Tots collects thousands of toys for underprivileged children in our region. Toys for Tots has partnered with WCCA for several years to distribute those toys, clothing, and other items to the families it serves through its Head Start, Early Head Start and NC Pre-K early childhood education programs.

Today, WCCA staff will be picking up 171 bags of toys and other goodies to begin sorting and delivering to needy families throughout Henderson, Transylvania, Rutherford and Polk Counties. WCCA Family Advocates have been working with over 150 families who have requested assistance this holiday season so that every child would have a bright, happy Christmas morning!

Address: 220 King Creek Blvd., Hendersonville, NC 28792.
