‘Oak Island Angels’ bring Christmas to more than a hundred Brunswick County residents

OAK ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — ‘Tis the season for giving and one community is giving back to make sure families young and old in Brunswick County have a Merry Christmas. 

The Oak Island Angels is a community support organization that was created by Clarissa Cope of Oak Island back in 2015.  

They’ve raised money for families in need, and have provided aid to the community after natural disasters.  

On Saturday night, they worked to make Christmas special for the elderly and families throughout Brunswick County with the “Angels Giving Back Project.”  

Volunteers, better known as the “angels,” packed gift bags to take to elderly members of the community, and parents who signed up their families came to pick up boxes that were made specially for their children. 

More than 30 families with 78 children, and 174 elderly were distributed to.
