FAYETTEVILLE — Washington Regional’s Faith in Action is inviting the community to help fulfill an elderly person’s Christmas wish this year by participating in the fifth annual Project Santa.
This year, Faith in Action will be filling 140 “ Christmas Comfort Baskets, ” which will be delivered by volunteers to the organization’s clients in time for the holidays.
