Twelve Hundred on Santa’s List
December 2, 2009
Each year District Five Family Ministries meets their goal of providing Christmas to each child entered into their Christmas House database. This year, even though the goal hasn’t changed, the number of children on Santa’s list is higher than ever, having peaked at almost 1,200 children. Despite such a large number, Middle Tyger Community Center is certain needs will be met for each and every child, a miracle that happens year after year.
Such miracles occur at the DFFM Christmas House located across the street from Duncan First Baptist. Lyn Turner, staff, and volunteers are packing up gifts and other items to be moved from the Center to the Christmas House December 3rd and 4th.
The picture above shows one staff member’s office, already filled with gifts to take to the Christmas House. All sponsors need to bring their gifts to the Christmas House by Friday, December 11 for scheduled pick-ups Saturday, December 12. The very last day to bring gifts is Wednesday, December 16 at noon.
If interested in volunteering or sponsoring a child, please call Lyn Turner or Melissa Russo at 439-7760 prior to Dec. 12.
