We’ve continued the tradition of adopting the wish lists of local kids from First in Families of the Sandhills, a non-profit organization that provides support to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. With your help, we can make their holidays brighter.
Here are the full lists for five children. Just send a note to hello@itsthesway.com and let us know which items you’d like to donate. We are marking items off the lists as they are fulfilled.
Bring your gift to Sway HQ (145 W. Pennsylvania Ave., Southern Pines) by 12 p.m. Monday, Dec 9. Please do not wrap items, but feel free to include wrapping materials.
