75 kids to enjoy Christmas thanks to Charlotte Catholic students

CHARLOTTE — Students from Charlotte Catholic High School delivered Christmas presents to the Diocese of Charlotte Pastoral Center Dec. 14 for Catholic Social Services to give out to 75 children in need this Christmas season. 

The entire student body participated in the toy drive, a partnership the school has had with Catholic Social Services for more than two decades.

There were so many toys that the students, led by the student council leadership, delivered them to Catholic Social Services on a school activity bus.

The annual drive is coordinated by the student council with Catholic Social Services, which identifies children in need from their client base.
