BEAUFORT â Donning masks as a coronavirus safety precaution, members of St. Paulâs Episcopal Church were rushing Friday to load vehicles with wrapped gifts and bicycles for delivery to children and families in time for Christmas.
A similar scene was playing out at First United Methodist Church in Morehead City, where volunteers were sorting gifts and food that filled the churchâs large fellowship hall.
The flurry of activity was part of Project Christmas Cheer. The nonprofit organization takes applications from families in need and places the childrenâs names on Angel Trees at various locations for people to âadoptâ to provide Christmas gifts. Families also receive food boxes or gift cards for food. This year, Carteret County trees were set up at the Sports Center and One Harbor Church in Morehead City.
