The Eblen Charities Saint Nicholas Project provided assistance for over 2100 families (6489 children) this past year by
providing toys, clothing and other items during the holiday season. The Saint Nicholas store is open for two weeks prior to Christmas and parents can begin to sign up online at the beginning of November. The store was open on from Tuesday, December 10 and ran until Thursday, December 19.
Special thanks to the annual Smokey Mountain Toy Run (Saturday, November 2) and the Ingles Magical Toy Drive (Thursday, December 5 through Saturday, December 7 at the Ingles on Smokey Park Highway) and the many individuals and businesses throughout the community and across the country who helped us make the holidays are a little easier and brighter for many families in our area.
Thank you to our generous community here in WNC and beyond for being so generous this Christmas season. We were able to help over 2000 families (over 6000 children) have a little brighter holiday.
