The Drive will be held at the annual Santa's Gift Shop at the Macon County Community Facilities Building on Hwy 441 S (Georgia Rd) in Franklin NC.  $1.00 admission OR 1 non-perishable food item to be donated to CareNet.

Santa’s Gift Shop is MV Craft Shows Christmas themed show. Come get in the Christmas shopping mood with  festive decorations, music and a jolly atmosphere. In addition to their usual great crafts, the vendors will also display Christmas themed crafts such as decorations, clothing, baked goods and lots of great gifts. Santa himself will also be present to visit with kids of all ages.

CareNet was founded in 1988 by a group of local people who attended different churches but wanted to come together to form an alliance between their churches and other groups who provided assistance to the community. Their goal was to better serve the community in times of crisis and to do so by working from one central location.

Since then CareNet has opened a thrift store, in 1997, to aid in the funding of their services and has also created more than 10 programs to help the local community.
