Santa's Secret Shoppe
Saturday, December 10 8:30 am - 1 pm
Immanuel Lutheran Church, 556 East Second St., Jamestown
Joint Neighborhood Project is doing something special for children and their families--and they need the help of Lutheran Youth to make it happen!
At Santaʼs Secret Shoppe, children from low-income families will “shop” for donated gifts for parents and other significant adults in their lives.
Lutheran Youth in grades 7 and up are needed to accompany children through the shoppe, help them select gifts, and wrap presents. It is a practical way to demonstrate the love of Jesus around the conference. And itʼs pretty fun, too!
The Conference Youth Ministry Team will show you what to do, plus spring for pizza afterwards! RSVP to Ian at (716) 720-8584 or ifeastman@yahoo.com.
I received a note today from Barb Hungerford, executive director of Joint Neighborhood Project. In addition to volunteers, JNP is also looking for some donations for Santa's Secret Shoppe:
- Donations of new or gently used gifts for men and women:
- Suggestions for women include dish towels, wallets, purses, perfume, jewelry, notepaper, slippers, nick nacks, bath products, and fleece blankets.
- Suggestions for men include sports related gifts, small tool sets, calculators, flashlights, snacks (soda, chips, nuts, etc.), new socks, pen sets, automotive items, and flip flops.
- Donations of Christmas cookies, wrapping paper, tape, gift bags, and gift boxes.
- Contributions are welcomed so that we can buy gifts that kids will purchase for their parents.
So there are a few ways youth and churches can help out with this event.
