Dear Grateful Village Community,

The Grateful Village Holiday Give Back is almost here, and we’re ready to make this event unforgettable—with your help! Join us in creating a meaningful holiday season for families affected by Hurricane Helene in partnership with Chances for Children Carolinas, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to empowering and supporting families in Western North Carolina.

Here’s how you can make an impact:


1. Apply for Shopping Vouchers – If You Need Assistance

If you or someone you know has been affected and could use extra support this season, please apply for shopping vouchers. These vouchers provide families with access to holiday gifts and essentials at the event free of charge, thanks to the support of Chances for Children Carolinas.

Apply for Vouchers 


2. Volunteer Your Time!

Help us bring holiday magic to life! We’re looking for volunteers to assist with setup, greet and help shoppers, and work the gift-wrapping station. This is a perfect opportunity to give back to your community in a meaningful way.

Volunteer Sign-Up 


3. Donate New & Gift-Quality Items

If you have new or high-quality giftable items, please consider donating them! Drop-off times are Nov 18-20 from 11 AM - 2 PM at the Fairview Community Center. If those times don’t work, let us know, and we’ll coordinate with you!


Event Highlights

  • Where: Fairview Community Center, 1357 Charlotte Highway, Fairview, NC 28730

  • When: November 21-24

  • Santa’s Visit: Saturday, Nov 23—bring the kids for a holiday treat! ??

How Your Support Makes a Difference
In partnership with Chances for Children Carolinas, we’ve already provided nearly $24,000 in financial aid to families hardest hit by the hurricane. Every donation, every volunteer, and every voucher purchased helps local families on their journey to recovery and supports our community’s resilience.

Remember, 100% of event proceeds go directly to families in need. By shopping, donating, or volunteering, you’re giving immediate aid to our neighbors and bringing hope for years to come.

Thank you for joining us to make a lasting impact. Together, we’re bringing holiday joy and building a stronger community
