Our Southpoint Christmas Toy Drive is off to a great start. We continue to receive donations. Our goal is to grant 28 families with 84 children totaling 168 gifts. Each child will receive two gifts. We are so thankful to have Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School, FCC congregation and our family and friends all help make the wishes of Southpoint children come true.
We served our neighbors at HOPE Resource Center at their new location this month. They are now housed at First United Brethren Church on S. Wheatland Ave. Their hours are M, W, F 9:30-12:30. Now our neighbors have a place to sit inside and eat a meal, receive clothing, mats and our pantry food. We were able to spend time and visit with our new friends.
Our Pop Up Team is grateful for some cake donations from Mary Youngquist. She sends some to us that we give to our sites. There are blessings all around us. Melody and I are continually blessed to have the support of First Community/Heart to Heart Staff and all the dedicated volunteers who give so much of their time and energy.
