Irene’s Elves

Each holiday season we hold Irene’s Elves, a donation drive that collects gifts for our Early Learning Center students and families.  In 2021, we received enough donations to provide each individual in the program two gifts!

2022 recap

Donations can be dropped off at the Administration building, 2 Rose Street W, Asheville, NC 28803, Monday through Friday 9AM to 4PM.

You may also sign up to adopt a specific child and fulfill their holiday wish list

Sign up today to be an “Elf” and host a toy or coat drive at your business, school, or church.

Renaissance Hotel provided an all-expenses paid Christmas surprise for two families in the form of a free stay in downtown Asheville. The rooms were decked with festive holiday décor, complete with presents under the tree.

We accept donations of toys, coats, and clothes for our families in need from November 1 to December 12 each year. Anything appropriate for ages 6-weeks to 6 years old is welcome.
