PINE KNOLL SHORES, N.C. (November 25, 2024) – The town of Pine Knoll Shores and its PARC Committee volunteer residents are once again supporting local military families in need for the holidays through its annual Angel Tree for the Children of our Warriors. This year, the town will raise funds to support 20 anonymous military children with holiday gifts by accepting donations at town hall through Friday, Dec. 13.
Working with Hope For The Warriors and its Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors in Jacksonville, the local families have already been pre-selected by the social workers within the clinic.
Those interested in supporting the Town of Pine Knoll Shores’ holiday project with a monetary donation can stop by town hall at 100 Municipal Circle in Pine Knoll Shores or connect with resident and project organizer Bonnie Peter at (252) 646-8079 or bj126@twc.com through Friday, Dec. 13.
Checks to support the Pine Knoll Shores Angel Tree for the Children of our Warriors can be made payable to “Kayak for the Warriors” with “Angel Tree” placed on the memo line of the check. Checks can be mailed to the Pine Knoll Shores town hall or placed in the lock box behind town hall.
The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors opened in December of 2022 and provides confidential, high-quality behavioral health care services at little to no-cost to post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members and military families with a TRICARE referral.

So, when an entire town pitches in to support their community during the holidays we’re eternally grateful for their kindness.”
