A busy season full of LOVE!

Operation Pretty Things is hard at work getting ready for our 13th Annual Christmas Event!!!! WOW!! I can hardly believe its been 13 years!! My heart is so full just thinking about how many women will be blessed by the love and encouragement they will receive at our Annual Christmas Event!!

The event is FREE and will be held on December 13th at the Harrelson Center: 20 North 4th Street, in downtown Wilmington NC. We will be making gifts full of cosmetics and beauty essentials - and love notes…my favorite part! - which will be stuffed and fluffed and delivered to the women just in time for Christmas!

We have extend the Pretty Things Drive until December 8th, to give you a little more time to shop. A list of donation locations can be found HERE. ***We also have a Target Registry for those of you that prefer to shop online. Its a hassle free way to give something special to the women we serve!

Please help us give love and joy this holiday season to these precious women! The kindness is simple and small…but the impact is great! Her are some of the things the women are saying…

“Thank you for the wonderful makeup gifts and the thoughtful, and much needed, handwritten words of love and encouragement that were included in my gift. Those handwritten words were the best gift of al!!!!! You really do make such a difference for all of us survivors!!!”

“What touched me the most was a note from someone who took the time to write words of encouragement - and it’s still on my refrigerator, and that was a year and a half ago. Its silly, the things that touch your heart. But to know that someone took the time to, number one, to make a gift bag, but then also felt compelled to write words of encouragement - just something nice and loving to say to me, that I mattered…it just…it helps.”
