GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - The Rotary Club of Gulfport-Orange Grove continued a longstanding tradition Saturday to make Christmas wishes come true for dozens of children in the community.
Christmas is still more than a week away, but Santa’s sleigh arrived a little early for dozens of deserving children in Harrison County. It’s all thanks to the Rotary Club of Gulfport-Orange Grove and their ‘Christmas for Kids’ project.
They worked with the Harrison County School District to select 100 children. Typically, each child is given $80 and taken on a shopping trip, but this year due to COVID-19 changes had to be made.
