Vince Carter’s Embassy of Hope Foundation’s “Believing in Christmas” Food Basket Giveaway

It’s beginning to look like Christmas, but we’ve got to eat! Wednesday, December 21, 2024, was the scene, once again, of Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Vince Carter and his Embassy of Hope Foundation in partnership with Publix Supermarkets presenting “Believing in Christmas” annual food basket giveaway. EOH Board members and volunteers gathered outside the Vince Carter Athletic Center at Mainland High School to distribute plentiful food baskets containing a gift card to purchase a turkey or meat of choice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, celery, stuffing mix, canned vegetables, eggs, margarine, apple pie and more to groups feeding families needing assistance this Christmas season. This is the 25th year that Carter and his advisory board have made it possible for families to have a nice meal at Christmas. As Vince said, “This is a small piece of what we can do for our community. Being able to put a good meal on the table where family and friends can gather is important.” This year, some of the recipients included the Children’s Home Society, Halifax Health Hospice, Family Renew, and families involved in some of our local churches.

Vince and the Embassy of Hope Advisory Board wish everyone blessings for this holiday season and good health for the New Year.
