Our Christmas Preparations

We're currently working on gathering items for our families in need and trying to make their Christmas a little bit brighter. We've collected toys and warm clothes for infants and children up to size 7 - we still need much more - we just picked up a family with 5 children - several of whom are older kids - so the hunt continues. We had some turkeys donated by the Methodist Church in New Egypt. We found homes for them and Peaches will take the last one to cook for the homeless after Christmas when they've been all but forgotten. She'll prepare sandwiches and make goody bags with crackers and juice etc - to be handed out. I made lots of little flannel play pants to help keep kids warm - many times children in safe houses and shelters come in with only the clothes on their backs. So we find ways to help make them comfortable. If you can donate please contact us at holyangels@live.com - if you have the luxury of a few bucks to spare please mail to us at the address on the blog page lower left.
