Each year, we host a festive holiday gathering for the families being served in our maternal-child health programs where parents and their children receive gifts and essential items. This year, we brought the fun to their doors, thanks to our wonderful staff, community volunteers, and sponsors. On a cold Saturday morning, over 50 "elves" loaded up their sleighs and delivered joy to 288 homes around the Charlotte area! Please join us in saying thanks to:
