Our latest update:
Before Thanksgiving break, we were able to provide our Village families with a Crest giftcard to help get them through the week. I know this was a huge blessing to so many of them- either to help with a Thanksgiving meal or to help with groceries while their kids didn’t have access to school lunches.
Several of our Village families are also on the school’s Christmas Assistance list, so we are able to use the giftcards to meet their needs in this way as well! Thank you for the new stock of giftcards you dropped off. This will help us tremendously as we prepare for Christmas!
Our middle school principal, Mrs. Donley, is working on rolling out The Village into the Middle School after Christmas, and we are so excited to be able to reach more families! After she talked to her staff about it a couple of weeks ago, several teachers have already contacted us and are eager to get to work! We were able to provide Crest giftcards to these families before Thanksgiving as well. This morning I received this email from one of the teachers: “The Crest gift card that the middle school gave their family before the break opened the door for school and home to work together as a team.”
We are also planning on putting together little giftbags for the kids before Christmas break with seasonal goods like kleenex, chapstick holders to attach to their backpacks, and fun Christmas treats.
We can’t thank you enough!
The ministry is expanding and we appreciate those who are able to contribute to Servias. FATHER knows your heart and you can expect HIM to supply all your needs according to HIS riches!
