Hope for Christmas

Hope for Christmas is 2 weeks ago. So far, we have over 2400 kids signed up an expect as many as 1000 more kids by the 19th.

What can you do?
****What if each member of your family brought in one new toy?
****What if your family filled a bag or two with canned goods?
****What if you looked for new gift items you have already at home that you are not going to use that can be donated to the Secret Santa Shop?

Would you rather donate money and let us doing the shopping for you? No problem, you can send a donation via Paypal at www.afreshhope.com or mail a check to A Fresh Hope.

This event is the ONLY Christmas most of these families will receive. Our small contributions can totally change a families Christmas forever. Maybe even plant a seed....

Let's be the hands and feet of Jesus.. Let's show the Light!
