WFU Holiday Assistance Program: Spread the cheer

Each year, the Office of the Chaplain assists Wake Forest staff, faculty and contract workers who need additional funds to provide traditional holiday meals and gifts for their families through the Holiday Assistance Program. In 2022, more 160 individuals and families were able to make the season bright for themselves and their families through the program. Donations will be accepted through November 10. Gift cards will be distributed the week of Thanksgiving.
