As we approach the season of giving, Giving Tuesday is a perfect opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. On this special day, we invite you to consider supporting the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina (BGHNC), an organization that has transformed lives for 70 years by providing hope, healing, and a safe haven for over 7,500 children in need.

Since 1954, BGHNC has been a beacon of hope for children who have faced unimaginable challenges. Through their dedicated programs, such as the Kiwanis Cottage for girls and various educational and residential services, BGHNC ensures every child receives the support and care they need to thrive.

This year, BGHNC has celebrated milestones that reflect its lasting impact. Alumni like Jerry Parrish and Lindsay Garner McGraw have shared powerful stories of how the organization changed their lives, offering not just a home but also friendship, education, and faith. Additionally, partnerships like the Kiwanis Club of Elizabethtown help bring joy to the children during the holiday season by providing warm winter clothing and unforgettable experiences.

As featured in the Bladen County Beautiful Winter Holiday Shopper, this year’s focus on fostering community engagement and celebrating hope is more vibrant than ever. From the touching testimonials of alumni to ongoing community initiatives like the Nativity Journey and the Christmas Celebration of Hope, there are countless ways to get involved and show your support.

Your contributions this Giving Tuesday can ensure that programs like these continue to thrive and positively impact the lives of children for years to come.
