Christmas for Moore (formerly the Empty Stocking Fund) is in full gear for this upcoming Christmas season.

The mission of Christmas for Moore is to offer support for individuals and families in Moore County that are in need of assistance at Christmas time.  In the last two years, Christmas for Moore has been able to help over 2500 individuals with gifts as well as food vouchers for the holidays.

Myron Dice discusses the programs; both big picture and small picture.  Christmas for Moore is a 501 c organization.

Jodi Anderson started Anderson Bears out of love of family.  She started making authentic teddy bears for her family and started sharing her creations with family and friends. Today, she is making these bears in memory of loved ones and for many different reasons. Each bear purchased helps fund a bear for the”Legacy Love” program, that donates a Legacy Bear to a senior citizen suffering from depression, anxiety or loneliness.

THE SEASON OF GIVING

Posted on by

Christmas 2017

Barrett Walker, Exec. Director of the Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care, Myron Dice, chairperson of Christmas for Moore (formerly The Empty Stocking Fund), and the Rev. Dr. Paul Murphy of the Trinity Community Outreach Center and the Murphy Family Musical Ensemble gather to discuss the Christmas season and to increase awareness of those not as fortunate as some at this special time of year.

The many agencies in and around Moore County don’t elevate their game at the Christmas season, as their endeavors are a 12 month a year exercise.

The Christmas season is however, a time of giving and hope.  We are surrounded by people in Moore County of all types of people of different incomes, different needs and different problems.
