Lily Chen of UCA WAVES, along with Wake County Commissioner Cheryl Stallings, presented a basket filled with the 600 red envelopes to Justin Garrity from Healing Transitions, an organization serving the unhoused. Over a dozen special guests, including WRAL TV Morning and Noon Anchor Renee Chou, attended the event with the crowds.
