Sam Allen, the store manager of Wal-Mart in Rio Grande, presented a check at the store on Jan. 2 to Christ Child members Phyllis Laswell of North Cape May and Regina McDevitt of Cape May.
Wal-Mart has established a Local Giving Grant Program to “support the needs of the local communities by funding organizations working to improve the lives of their associates, customers and neighbors.”
The donated funds will be used to purchase diapers, wipes, formula, baby clothing, cribs and mattresses and other basic need items.
The Christ Child Society works through local schools, agencies and organizations that help children in need. Donations of “gently used” baby items, clothing and toys are always needed and welcome.
Contact the Christ Child Society for more information, 609-602-7682.
