Gift Card Collection for our Creche Service on December 18th
The Foodbank is welcoming gift cards again for the Holidays this year in place of holiday presents.. It is recommended that we donate gift cards from ShopRite, Walmart, and Target as they are easier and more successful to use than the Visa gift cards. Please keep the value of each card you purchase to a maximum of $25 and please note the value of each card with a sharpie or pen.
The gift cards were extremely well received in previous years; clients felt empowered and so grateful for the opportunity to shop for their families!
Thank you all for your generous donations at this time of year to help bring joy to others in need. If you can't get out to purchase a card, we can accept your monetary donation and do the shopping for you.
Christmas Memorials
If you would like to make a donation for our Christmas flowers in memory or in honor of a loved one, please email the office with their names and we will include them in our Christmas bulletins. We ask that all names be submitted by Wednesday, December 21st. You may mail in your donation or place it in the plate at services.
Your donations make it possible for the Flower & Altar Guilds to beautify the sanctuary throughout the Christmas season. Thank you!
