Be someone's angel this holiday season

Posted

Members of the newly developed Laurence Manning Academy 4H Club has decided their winter community project will be a partnership with the Turbeville Children's Home.

To this end, the students created an Angel Tree for the home's resident children. The Harvin Clarendon County Library has agreed to allow the Angel Tree to be placed there for the next month. Students and advisors placed the tree in the library on Nov. 15. It will remain there until Dec. 15.

"With our community's support, we know this project will be a huge success for the children, as well as for the home itself," said advisor Crystal Bell. "Please stop by the (library) to pick a tag and be someone's angel this holiday season."

Participants are invited to go by the tree and pick a tag, each one of which has been made for a specific child at the home. Multiple tags have also been created for the needs of the home as a whole.

"The children's gifts listed on the tags will need to be purchased, wrapped and returned with the tag," Bell said. "Items purchased for the home can be dropped off unwrapped with or without the tag."

All items are to be dropped off by Dec. 15 at the Clemson Extension Office, 21 W. Rigby St. in the Pocotaligo Plaza near Domino's
