Christmas Toy Give Away!

On Christmas Day each year, the Rescue Mission gives gifts to children who are in need. Some of these children belong to families who are guests at the mission. By word of mouth, family's have come each year. We usually give gifts to 200-300 children. Last year, we moved the Toy Give Away to the Church on the Rock just because we would have more room and people who needed gifts would not have to wait outside. We also contacted the social workers in the schools so that the neediest families would know about the Toy Give Away. Linda Morgan has spearheaded the effort to help these families. She has done an incredible work of organizing the toy give away. Each child is able to pick out gifts that are age appropriate and gifts have a monetary value of $15. This has meant so much to families who otherwise would not have Christmas presents. If you would like to donate money towards purchasing a gift or purchase a gift for a child, please contact Linda Morgan. She will be able to give you some suggestions of what is needed. Also, if you would like to help with the Toy Give Away, contact Linda as well. Please call her at 522-0203.
