Project Christmas Cheer: Outreach for November | St. Paul's Beaufort

Project Christmas Cheer is a local volunteer non-denominational outreach program established to provide Christmas holiday assistance to children and adults in Carteret County who have documented financial need during the holiday season. Qualification for Christmas Cheer support is based on the Department of Social Services guidelines. Each year, St. Paul’s participates in PCC as a congregation by adopting 20+ families. Parishioners are able to choose a tag with an individual’s name in order to provide gifts for children 18 and younger. This year the PCC tree will be in the back of the church on Sunday, November27 and Sunday, December 4. We hope that you will choose one or more tags from the PCC tree for gifts and/or delivery. Please bring your wrapped gifts to church on Sunday, December 11. Food and gifts will be delivered on Wednesday, December 21. If you would like to make a monetary gift it will be combined with an amount from the church budget to provide a generous gift of food for the families.

Donate to Project Christmas Cheer

When you walk into the narthex of the church, you are greeted with the pamphlets named “A Brief History of St. Paul’s.” Our history reflects how we came to be a parish in beautiful Beaufort, North Carolina, but it also continues to inform how we move and remain present in the community today. We hope you will take the time to learn a little bit more about us.
