Our mission began in the early 1980's as a grass roots effort to help our neighbors in need during the Christmas Season. Since then, we organized, formed a corporation and have been awarded our non-profit status from the IRS.
Our main focus has always been on providing assistance for children and their families in the Oakwood Community who would otherwise go without at Christmas.
We fund our project by hosting the Oakwood Annual Secret Santa Car Show at the Oakwood campus of The University of North Georgia (formerly known as The Gainesville College) each October. For more information about the car show, please visit: www.secretsantacarshow.com.
The Secret Santa Car Show is a labor of love bringing automotive enthusiast together for a fun day of sharing their hobby while at the same time raising funds to support a very worthy cause.
Established in 2010, the Secret Santa Car Show began its journey by raising $1,400 and bringing Christmas cheer to six needy children in the Oakwood, Georgia area.
Since then, 2011-2020, we have raised over $65,000 and have helped spread Christmas cheer to over 500 more children.
Spreading the true meaning of the Christmas season by giving to those in need, Community Care and Share, Inc. has worked hard to grow the funds needed to provide a Merry Christmas to every needy child in our area.
Children who benefit from this program are recommended by local educators and members of our Oakwood public safety department.
After being carefully screened, eligible children receive new winter coats, shoes, socks, sweaters, pants, items for infants and toiletries along with toys and/or other items appropriate for their age. None of the personal information of our recipients is ever shared publicly.
Donations are welcomed and may be mailed to:
