1.There's a giant bin in the Newman Center (Holy Spirit Church) on Rose Lane that is collecting toys for a Christmas Store at theCatholic Action Center on 5th Street. The beauty of this "store" is that only adults are allowed to shop there when it opens the 22nd-24th, I believe. The twofold tenderness involved is that the poor or homeless mother or father is given the opportunity to pick seven items to give to their kids at no cost, which gives the parent the dignity of giving their child a gift, as well as the joy the child receives because he expected nothing.
2.The Community Christmas Store - giving presents to over 17,000 kidsthis year and in need of many gently used/new stuff...collecting items at Southland Christian, The Vineyard and Community Action Council Ibelieve. Merry Christmas!
3. The Salvation Army's Angel Tree.
