Christmas in July!

On Sunday July 25, 2021 (or anytime leading up to!)….would you consider helping us trim our Pathway of Hope Giving Tree?

Christmas comes but once a year, but the gift of giving can be a part of any day!! Even though Santa is on summer vacation, we are looking for some stand in’s to help bless the families in our Pathway of Hope Program.

Please bring a gift card for groceries, gas, or pharmacy/hygiene on July 25 and help decorate our tree. The Pathway of Hope program is now serving 5 families, 3 of whom are struggling with basic needs such as shelter, food, clothing, and hygiene supplies. The families also have children – between these families there are 7 children ranging in age from 8-15. Two of these families have very unstable housing situations, and one family is homeless – the children have been removed from the mother until appropriate housing can be found.

A little bit can go a long way. While we work in Pathway to secure appropriate government assistance and affordable or supportive housing, can you help fill in some of the gaps? Kids are home from school, hamper programs have been coming to an end, and we are seeing great need.

If you won’t be at church July 25th due to holidays, please know the giving tree will be up and available to decorate at The Family Life Centre starting July 15th. Please stop by at any time.

If you are unable to give financially at this time, we are looking for cooked and frozen meals that can be given to our families. An appropriate portion would be for 4 people. We can also accept household (toilet paper, laundry soap) or hygiene products (shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, toothbrush/paste, soap)

Thank you Willows Family for your generosity in advance. Merry Christmas!! – Andrea
