Hello!

 

I Hope this email finds you well! We are reaching out, with Christmas season around the corner, to see if your congregation would like to support a family for the Christmas Season. We feel strongly about empowering our participants so they can shop and buy gifts for their children. We want to support them being able to experience the joy that this brings a parent. By providing gift cards for each of their children, participants are then able to purchase for each child individually based on that child's wants and needs. This not only gives our participants the joy of giving to their children, but it also helps their budget so they can continue to be focused on the essentials needed for their housing and living expenses during the holidays. We currently have 16 children we are serving and our target is to provide a $50 Walmart or Target gift card for each of them. If you are interested in serving in this way please let us know.

 

Please also pray for all of our participants during this season as it can be a heavy time of mixed emotions.

 

 

 

Grace and Peace,

 

 

 

Caleb Simmers
