Businesses, nonprofits, service organizations, churches and individuals all across the region take on projects to spread holiday cheer whether it’s feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, providing toys for children or offering companionship for the elderly.

While it would be impossible to highlight every example of Christmas giving in our four-county coverage area, here is a snapshot of selfless acts happening around us.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
