"Christmas for Child Advocates Gift Drive" Ends Today! "Christmas for Child Advocates Gift Drive" Ends Today!
All day
December 5, 2021The Christmas for Child Advocates Gift Drive collects gift items for infants, children, and youth who are entangled in the cycle of child abuse and neglect, and find themselves wards of a court appointed advocate system through no fault of their own. A gift list has been made available at the Community Projects Team table on each Sunday beginning November 12 and ending December 12 for guidance in the selection of toys, clothing, gift cards, headphones, skateboards, helmets, colognes, and perfumes for various ages of children and youth, from babies to teenagers.
A box will be prominently displayed on a table where the gifts can be deposited for delivery to Santa's workshop by Sunday, December 5th. No group gift wrapping will take place this year. If you are unable to shop for specific items, the drive is also more than pleased to accept gift cards from any brick-and-mortar retailers in place of physical goods.
