2024 Winter Blessings Festival!
Thank you for your generous donations of toys and winter gear for the Winter Blessings Festival! This year, our goal is to share the love of Christ with at least 250 community members, as we exceeded this number last year. To help us wrap presents, we kindly ask for donations of gift wrap, gift bags, or boxes. We also still need a few more volunteers to make this event a success. Thank you for your continued support!
