A 7-year-old from Mount Holly is spreading Christmas joy this holiday season with the goal of bringing warmth to classmates in need.

Ciaunna Williams has started a donation drive and a GoFundMe to help her friends at Concord Lake STEAM Academy get coats, uniforms, socks, and other clothing items to keep them warm this winter.

Williams said it started with a little idea and has grown into a beautiful big pile of coats so far. Those coats will be an offering of compassion for her classmates in need.

"It got bigger and bigger. Now, we're donating stuff to the school," Williams said, of the clothing drive.

The mission started after a staff member at her school mentioned how some students go without warm clothing, even as the temperature drops.
