Help for the Holidays - Make Someone's Christmas Wish Come True!
My husband and I run an organization called The Hope Centerthat provides food and help to needy families. Every year churches and community resource centers like ours are inundated with requests for help at Christmastime. Families with limited resources often need help getting through the holiday season. In years past, the majority of requests have been for bikes, electronic gadgets, or the latest toys. This year, the requests are much simpler. We're getting calls daily from folks needing food for their cupboards, gas for their cars in order to get to work, help with a utility bill so the Christmas tree lights (and every other light in the house) don't get cut off before the holidays get here, etc... We'd like to try to help as many of these families as we can, but how many we are able to serve depends entirely upon the generosity of our friends and neighbors.
This Christmas, we are trying to help struggling families pay an overdue utility bill, fill up their gas tank, or stock their pantries with food. Can you spare $5 or $10 to help make someone's Christmas wish come true?
