York Place needs donations for kids' holiday store
For the past two years, the employees of York Place and all the wonderful friends of York Place have donated new or gently used items for our Christmas Store. Our children earn Christmas Store dollars through a point system to buy gifts for family and loved ones at this special store. The children would not otherwise be able to give gifts at Christmas time. The children's faces light up when they are able to shop for special gifts for their families.

We need your help to make this store possible. Please clean out your closets and donate items that you can spare--anything is appreciated. The children and staff of York Place thank you. Contact Carolyn Smarr, 803.684.4011, with questions or send donations to York Place (234 Kings Mtn St., York, SC 29745).
