BRING CHRISTMAS JOY TO TEENS IN FOSTER CARE

Many of the almost 14,000 children in the foster care system are teens. Unfortunately they are sometimes forgotten at Christmas. Make this a Christmas to remember happily this year. Shopping couldn't be easier. Helen's Hope Chest has provided a wish list of gift cards most desired by teens. Simply purchase one or more of these gift cards (suggested values of $10 or $25 please) and hang it on the Christmas tree in the Narthex. Please be sure to write the value on the card to assist Helen's distribution. We'll have Sharpie pens near the tree to help. The tree will be up the entire month of November as Helen's begins distribution in early December in order to accommodate the large number of clients they expect.

As in previous years, monetary donations are welcome in lieu of or in addition to gift cards. Financial contributions can be made via cash or check - please note Helen's Hope Chest on the memo line. Donations can also be made online at the following link or via Simple Give.
