Every year our Helping Hands work with the Holiday Help Drive of East Troy by donating items to families in our community who are in need of a little extra help this holiday season. The drive begins after Thanksgiving and ends mid December.
The community center anticipates the greatest need for family adoptions this year due to lower numbers in our churches and uncertainty of what COVID19 may bring again this fall/winter.
- Giving Tree - There will be a Giving Tree at the front of the church until the gift deadline, which will be announced in church and in the bulletin. On that tree will be tags for gifts that need to be purchased for families who have requested help from Holiday Help of East Troy. These gifts are not luxury items, but maybe one or two really desired items for Christmas. It may be one of the few times these families receive anything new or special. Each tag will also have a confidential code so that the gifts can be matched with the recipient. Please take as many tags as you are able.
There will be a signup sheet by the Giving Tree where you should put your name, phone number and gift code.
It is VERY important your WRAPPED item has the gift tag firmly attached and returned to church by the gift deadline.
You will be seeing additional bulletin advertisements for items needed and instructions on how they will be collected. For further information on this program, please check out the Holiday Help page on the Community Center's website.
