For many families this holiday season, they are not blessed with jobs or money to give their children gifts this season. The Community Center partnered with our local bank this year to make sure that at least some kids will have something under the tree. A lot of items were donated, but there sure was a big difference from last year to this year on the amount of items extra we had as back up. I think we got down to 1 tub of barbie dolls left to pick from. What joy it has brought me though to work in this community and to see countless times people show up with what ever it is in need. This year a team of moms and daughters showed up to pack up all the food for over 60 families! They had a great time doing it and I appreciated them helping us out! We hope this helps some families make it through the next few weeks.
