Christmas Outreach update

Wow.. the Christmas Outreach party is coming together! We are expecting 1000 families with over 2000 children.

We are going to roast marshmallows, have moonwalks, face painting, a craft and even a DJ. A wonderful man, John Z, is donating his DJing services. How awesome! We will have a store where the kids can select a gift. Santa and Mrs. Clause are going to stop by as well as a 'grumpy green guest'. The Clubhouse Kids at West Ridge Church are putting on a wonderful Christmas pagent at 4:00 on 12/21 to kick off the party.

Tiki Tan is hosting a collection site. Liberty Mutual is also hosting a collection site. It is great to see Outreach reaching so many in so many different ways. Hope MEthodist, Church as the Ridge and Cedarcrest Church are all partnering with A Fresh Hope, CAYA, Toys For Tots and West Ridge to host this event. It is a community coming together to share Jesus' love. What a clear picture!

We are still collecting dontaions. This event will not be possible without the support of a lot of folks. Items we still need:
*** New Toys
*** Items for the Shopping Store. These can be new items you have around you house that would make a great gift for someone- all ages.
*** $20 gift cards for the Food Boxes. Our prayer is that we deliver 1 food box to each household to serve as their Christmas Dinner.
*** Items for the Food Boxes: 2 cans of green beans, 2 cans of corn, 2 cans of yams, 2 boxdes of stuffing, 2 boxes of Mac & Cheese, 1 jar of gravy and 1 jar of cranberry sauce.
*** Large Marshmallows, Coffee Creamers, Coffee sweetners
*** Bottled Water and other single serving drinks/snacks
*** Paper goods such as cups for coffe/Hot Cocoa, napkins

Consider Sponsoring a Food Box or Two as a Family. Maybe your small group or a group at work would want to put together a couple of food boxes. Food Box donations can be dropped off at West Ridge Church.
