Children's Christmas Outreach Monday, December 24, 2012 at the York Expo CenterDoors open at 8:00 a.m. -- Program starts at 9:00 a.m. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" Matthew 19:13-14 NLT Each year, you, our donors and volunteers, help to send a message to all those we serve that they are not forgotten. The fact that they receive from people they have never met helps them to believe that there is good in the world. When people act unselfishly, with no expectations, it becomes easier to believe in a world of love and hope. This Christmas holiday season we want our guests to know about the priceless gift of God's unconditional love. Many of the hurting people we serve may know little or nothing about the great gift of Christmas, the birth of Jesus. Be a part of making this wonderful gift a reality. You can help by filling a backpack with age appropriate items for newborn to 18 years of age, boy and girl. Some ideas are:
Please place all items in a Ziploc see-through bag for safety purposes. We must be able to examine all items donated before placing them in a backpack. Also label the bag with the appropriate age and if it's for a boy/girl. Please drop off your items before December 4th at the main Mission at 367 W Market St. For more information, please contact Melinda Gorog or Ada Hite. Calendar |
