Christmas with Community Heroes is in its 16th year of bringing holiday cheer to children in Flagler County. 

This year, the goal is to shop for 100 children in need. According to a press release, the children are nominated through an application process facilitated by Flagler Schools guidance counselors and teachers, ensuring support reaches those who need it most.

Each child receives a $150 gift card to be spent in Walmart on items of their choosing. To make this possible, retired Sgt. Larry Jones and his team of Caroline McNeil, Kathy Vasquez and Lacy Martin are calling on the community for donations and volunteers. 

The annual shopping event at the Palm Coast Walmart is made possible through the support of Walmart employees and store manager Janet Baldwin. Volunteers including first responders, medical professionals, educators and many more will join the children to shop and wrap presents.

To donate, checks can be made payable to CWCH and mailed to: P.O. Box 1954 Bunnell, FL, 32110, or via PayPal at www.paypal.com/biz/profile/cwchflagler. To volunteer to help shop or wrap gifts, email [email protected].
