Christmas Outreach Opportunities

Christmas Elves Needed

Two small, but very meaningful projects, require care in December. If you'd like to volunteer, please talk to Rev. Schade or Rev. Merritt. First: The Mitten Tree. Job Description: Encourage members and friends to contribute children's mittens, scarves, and knit hats, to decorate our Bancroft Christmas tree. And then when schools starts up again in January, deliver them to the Elm Park School. Second: Long underwear. Encourage members and friends to fill our Christmas stockings in the Bancroft Room with what the poor and the homeless most desperately need long underwear, especially in large sizes. After January 4th take the men's to the Vet Shelter, and the women's to the Salvation Army or Abby's House. You can do this work with friends, just let us know if we can rely on you to carry the Christmas spirit out into the community.
