Currituck County is launching “Operation Love Thy Neighbor” as a way to help residents who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is modeled after Operation Santa Claus.

During the month of May, the county will collect monetary donations from individuals, businesses and community groups. At the beginning of June, Food Lion gift cards will be distributed to county residents who ask for assistance.

No application or proof of financial hardship required. Only a valid ID that shows a Currituck County address will be required at the time of distribution.

Donations may be made online or at the Currituck County Department of Social Services drop box or by mail to Currituck County Department of Social Services, 153 Courthouse Road, Suite 400, Currituck, NC 27929. Find more information about the program at https://co.currituck.nc.us/uncategorized/operation-love-thy-neighbor/.
