Love Enough to Share is the Times-News' annual drive to benefit six local charities: the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness’ Operation Santa Claus, Christmas Cheer, The Salvation Army’s Shoes With Love program, The Arc of Alamance County’s ArChristmas Fund, The Foster Children’s Christmas Fund, and Residential Treatment Services of Alamance’s Santa’s Helper program. The Times-News has run the campaign every year since the early 1990s.
Operation Santa Claus provides Christmas presents for local residents with mental illnesses living at Central Carolina State Hospital in Butner. Christmas Cheer provides Christmas gifts, food and other assistance for local children and elderly people. Shoes with Love provides vouchers for children to receive new shoes at a local Wal-Mart. The ArChristmas Fund provides Christmas gifts for those with developmental disabilities living in area group homes or at the Murdoch Center in Butner. The Foster Children’s Christmas Fund provides Christmas presents for all children in the county’s foster care system. And Santa’s Helper provides Christmas gifts for those with mental health and substance abuse issues living at Residential Treatment Services facilities.
Contribute to this year’s campaign any time through the end of the year. Just fill out the coupon, and return it with your gift to the Times-News, Attn: Love Enough to Share, P.O. Box 481, Burlington, N.C. 27216. Contributions also can be dropped off at the newspaper office, 707 S. Main St.
Make checks out to the charities — every penny goes to them. The Times-News also will send complimentary cards to honorees or, in the case of memorials, to families. Contributors also will be recognized in the newspaper unless they request anonymity.
