Adopt a Family / Children First Outreach
Now through December 1st
We will be adopting 100 plus families so we need everyone to prayerfully consider helping out.
We will be doing it a little differently this year. As we are all aware many families have been strongly impacted by Hurricane Ian and the needs are great so this year Children First is asking for gift cards to be given. Thus, allowing the families to purchase the items they most desperately need.
Gift cards may be purchased in the amounts of $25, $50 or $100 from Walmart, Target, Publix, or Gas Cards. Please tape the proof of purchase to the back of the card and do not write any names on them. Please bring them in by Thursday, December 1 and as you place them in the box, please say a prayer for the family who will receive it. The drop box is in the lobby.
