Adopt-a-Family Christmas Project

For nearly 40 years, Charlotte Catholic has partnered with Catholic Charities to support families in need at Christmas. This year, each homeroom is sponsoring a child (or in some cases, two children or a parent).

Because of the short timeline, we encourage families to donate Visa gift cards, which allow parents to purchase gifts directly. If you prefer, you may also donate through the online store's Adopt a Family Donations page. All donations are due by Friday, December 12. Thank you for helping us bring joy to families this Christmas season!
