Christmas Bureau Update
We wanted to take a minute and provide an update on what we are doing for the 3 families we adopted from the Christmas Bureau. We raised $605, and it is because of that generosity that we have been able to do so much for these 3 families (total of 16 lives we are touching). We spent $122.35 at Toys R Us on toys for 9 of the 11 kids. We spent $337.71 on clothes for each of the 11 kids, gift cards for 2 of the 11 kids, and gifts for the 5 adults. We spent $82.99 at Hyvee to buy holiday meals for each family: 1/2 a Ham, potatoes, veggies, rolls, and pie. We area also giving each family a $20 gift card to Dillons to meet any other needs they might have (e.g., food, diapers, soap, paper goods, etc). Who knew $605 could do so much?
We will be making deliveries on Tuesday and Wednesday to the families. I only wish we could do more for not only these families, but for all those in need this holiday season. Thank you to everyone who donated money to help us help more in our community.
