Founded as a 501c3 in 2006, the foundation has benefited thousands of less-fortunate children in the area. What once began as the Angier couple treating a few less-fortunate children to a Christmas spree grew exponentially. The number of children participating increased ten-fold since the Hughes’ inaugural shopping spree during 2002.
Something as simple as a smile can change a heart forever. To Make a Child Smile Foundation has one simple goal: Give children with no other reason to smile something to smile about.
To Make a Child Smile is dedicated to seeking out and assisting less fortunate children within our community and making a positive impact in their lives.
How You Can Help
The To Make a Child Smile Foundation currently receives donations from private sources, businesses, individuals, service organization, etc. and we also hold special fundraising campaigns each year.
If you wish to help make a child smile, there are many ways this can be done. You or your organization may sponsor one or more children for our annual shopping trip, or you can make a general contribution, knowing that 100% will benefit the child/children. You may also donate your time, money, or gifts.
