Onslow Christmas Cheer
Helping Local Families In Need At Christmas For Over 50 Years
The Onslow Christmas Cheer is a vital community program that has demonstrated our community’s generosity and charitable spirit over the holidays. Our Christmas Cheer program helps provide Christmas meals and gifts for those families that struggle to afford these things. Depending entirely on the charity and goodwill of our community, we seek to make sure as many families in our community can have a special Christmas. For families that qualify, Christmas Cheer offers food for the entire household, gifts for children up to 12, and, if resources are available, help teenagers up to 17 year olds. All donations to the Onslow Christmas Cheer will be used for families in need.
