This is a Men and Women United and Community Support Agency Sponsored Event

Delco, NC – On December 23, 2020, Men and Women United for Youth & Families, CDC, and Community Support Agency (CSA) will host their Annual Christmas Giveback and Toys 4 Tots Campaigns. West Fraser Armour,of Riegelwood, will be on-site Wednesday at 10 o’clock a.m. to present a $5,000 cash donation. The Salvation Army has donated 100 bicycles for the event.

Due to COVID-19, donations have been lower this year compared to past years, but through the philanthropy efforts of local businesses, churches, and organizations, enough donations were received to make this a magnificent gift-giving event and assist families throughout Columbus and Bladen Counties for Christmas. Recipients will receive toys, clothing, gift cards, food, and other items to help make this holiday season fulfilling and joyful.

Families will pick up their packages during distribution on Wednesday morning beginning at 10 a.m., December 23rd, by appointment. In observance of COVID-19, social distancing procedures will be in place by the staff, and recipients are required to wear masks during pickup.

Our mission is to foster a culture of self-sufficiency within our community. Throughout the year Men and Women United provides vital assistance throughout Columbus, Bladen, and surrounding counties with Case Management services, disaster relief and support from Hurricane Florence and the COVID-19 pandemic, housing repairs, rent and utility payments, clothing, food, and appliances. We also provide laptops and internet service to school students for virtual home-learning. Employment and workforce development services are provided through our Tri-County Job Center. Our Youth Ambassador program provides entrepreneurial and leadership training with a focus in agri-business to local youth, who also receive mentoring and training from local farmers. Have a safe and happy Holiday Season and Happy New Year!
