WAKE FOREST, NC – The 2025 Wake Forest Cares Holiday Donation Drive is underway. Each year, the initiative raises money for several Town-sponsored programs addressing specific needs in our community, including hunger, home lighting and heating, youth health and fitness, and more. Last year’s Holiday Donation Drive raised just over $7,000.

Area residents and businesses can show their support by contributing online at www.wakeforestnc.gov/wake-forest-cares to one or more of these initiatives:

• HOPE (Helping Others by Providing Electricity)
• Northern Community Food Security Team
• Shop with a Cop
• Wake Forest Firefighters Foundation
• Wake Forest Center for Active Aging Scholarship Program
• Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Scholarship Program

In addition to online donations, checks are accepted and should be made payable to Town of Wake Forest (include “WF Cares” in the memo line), then mailed to Town of Wake Forest, 301 S. Brooks St., Wake Forest, NC 27587.

Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, Dec. 31, and may be designated to more than one initiative. Donations to more than one cause will be distributed evenly unless otherwise noted on the online donation form. For example, a $50 donation to two causes would result in each receiving $25. One hundred percent of all contributions will be directed to the designated organization(s)/initiative(s).
