Please consider supporting the 2020 Operation Santa Claus program, facilitated by the Currituck County Department of Social Services. This annual program provides Christmas presents for local children, Currituck children in foster care, and food baskets for senior citizens. Each donation is tax deductible and all proceeds will benefit citizens of Currituck County.
