    • Receive free or reduced lunch;

    • Are between the ages of 5 and 8 years old;

    • Are residents of Raleigh;

    • Have not previously attended a GoodFellows event

    Wake County Holiday Cheer

    Holiday Cheer brightens the holidays of children and seniors in need by matching them with community sponsors who provide Thanksgiving and Christmas meals or gifts. This program provides an opportunity for a personal relationship between the sponsor and their Holiday Cheer family.

    The annual project begins in late October when social workers will nominate eligible families and lasts until mid-December when gifts are distributed. If you would like to be nominated, please reach out to HCES school social worker Kathy Battle at kabattle@wcpss.net
