Thank You!
Christmas for Kids has wrapped up for another year! Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we were able to provide gifts for 113 of the children on the Christmas for Kids gift list at our local Department of Human Services!
What a fun year to witness, yet again, God’s provision through you… we loaded Alex Funke’s trailer and set-off for DHS with bags and bags of gifts, including: clothes, toys, books, games, personal care items, diapers, a car seat, a stroller, a bike trailer, 2 high chairs, a guitar, a queen size bed, scooters and 4 bikes! Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. You have provided much more than just material gifts; you’ve given each recipient a glimmer of hope and wrapped them in love and care for a brief moment in time and affected their lives in ways we will never know. God bless you, and please keep your child in your prayers throughout the year.
Many thanks to the Christmas for Kids team! What a blessing to me personally to have these talented, willing, and capable volunteers come alongside and contribute greatly to the program’s success. And all those who helped them.
