Current Event: The Guardian Angel Holiday Project

Friends of Wake County Guardian ad Litem needs your help! The Friends are setting up to begin our annual Guardian Angel Holiday Project. The Guardian Angel Holiday Project provides gifts to children who would otherwise go without. With the help of sponsors and donors, we provide gifts to hundreds of children. Contact us today to sign up as a Group or individual sponsor. Group or individual sponsors can purchase gifts for specific children or through financial support, allowing Friends to purchase items on the child's wish list. Sponsor Coordinators are also needed to ensure we reach as many children in need as possible. Become a part of the Guardian Angel Project and help spread good will and holiday cheer to children and families, in the true spirit of the season.
