Thanks for supporting the 2025 NHIA PruittHealth-Carolina Point Christmas Benefit!

Thanks to the generous support of donors and the work of volunteers, the NHIA was able to provide gifts for all residents and staff of PruittHealth-Carolina Point again this year. A note from Activity Director Abria Wilds:

 I just wanna say thank you again for everything you and your group did for us. Everything turned out beautifully. Both the residents and healthcare workers were so grateful. Happy holidays.

Thank you again to everyone who supported this effort, and best wishes for a happy holiday and a bright New Year!

2025 NHIA PruittHealth-Carolina Point Christmas Benefit

For the past five years, since the COVID pandemic, the New Hope Improvement Association has provided personalized gifts for all residents and gift cards for patient-care staff at this nursing home.

The majority of PruittHealth-Carolina Point residents are Medicaid recipients. The dedicated hard-working staff are truly an inspiration. The facility has just recently gotten over another COVID outbreak. We have seen firsthand that without our gift bags very few would have any gift at all on Christmas. Our hope is to continue giving this year what we have given in past years.

There are 90 residents and we give gifts totaling $20 to each person. The requests the residents make are for things like blankets, slippers, candy or snack crackers, clothing, and hygiene items. There are also 60 patient-care staff members and we have given each one a Food Lion Gift Card, for which they have been very grateful.

We hope our members and friends will participate in this Holiday Benefit for the PruittHealth residents and staff. In the past, no other church or other organization is involved with this home. The facility is located on Mt. Sinai Rd., so close to home.  

Donations may be made securely online at:  https://www.newhopeimprovement.com.

Checks can be made out to: New Hope Improvement Association, PO Box 16013, Chapel Hill NC 27516-6013. Please put “Pruitt” in memo line.

We thank you & Happy Holidays to all!

The dedicated, hard-working staff are truly are an inspiration. Torrence Williams, Activities Director, said:

“We are so humbled by your generosity and care.  We can’t thank the Association enough for all you did to bless the lives of our residents and staff.  The residents are still talking about the Christmas Social and how your gifts blessed each one of them.”

We hope you will participate in this benefit. Any amount makes a difference!

2022 PruittHealth Carolina Point Christmas Wish Benefit

PruittHealth’s activity director on last year’s benefit:

“The residents were clearly excited and thrilled with their personalized gifts such as blankets, pajamas and special food items. Additionally, your contribution helped to give 59 hourly and patient-care staff thirty-dollar grocery gift cards.”

Our goal for this year is to raise $3,000 to support 90 patients and 60 patient-care staff members. The NHIA will provide the first $1,000 and for the remaining we ask for donations.

We are hoping to make this another special holiday season for the residents and staff at PruittHealth.
