Update on Christmas program to benefit the EECM


Dear Families, 
Thank you so much for your generous contributions to the East End Cooperative Ministries organization.  The children made over 75 cards for the Meals on Wheels clients.  These elderly and home-bound clients will love the cute pictures, stickers, and bows that make these cards so special.  The collection of toiletry items was also amazing.  I was able to sort the items to make 30 Christmas toiletry bags to give to the families at the food pantry.  Yesterday, one women had a great big smile along with tears in her eyes when she told me one of the Christmas bags was her first Christmas present.  Did you know that we also collected over 8 boxes of children's books?  These books have been flying off the shelf at East Liberty Presbyterian Church (pantry/shelter/soup kitchen location for EECM) and into the hands of some very grateful readers.    
Thanks again for sharing the Christmas spirit of giving.
The SPCNS Staff
