Dates to keep in mind…

 

Nov. 18 and 25:  cards available with a request for something each child needs and something they want.  Please pick up a card (or two!) in the Lounge.

 

Dec 16:  Gift ingathering.  Please return all gifts (unwrapped), as we will have a special blessing for the children who will enjoy them.

 

Dec 20:  Join us Thursday, Dec 20. at 9:00 AM  for food shopping, sorting, and delivery!  Wear your comfy shopping shoes & get ready to shop at Meijer for our families.  Then head back & help sort everything we bought.  If you can stay a bit longer & help deliver all these goodies, please let Carol know.  We can use lots of vehicles!
