So...what does it take to gather, sort, pack and wrap gifts for the Citychurch kids?Volunteers and time.
Tuesday our first group came in from Leadership Amarillo. The group was made up of area teens and college students and did a great job sorting all the gift items, in preparation to be packed!
We have a wall of toothpaste, lotion, conditioner and shampoo. A table full of art and writing supplies, footballs, basketballs, games, dolls, blankets, books and coats plus lots more!
After this group sorted, the Adult Leadership Amarillo group arrived Thursday morning to begin packaging the gifts. Great care goes into these presents. We have Christmas wish lists gathered from all the children that tell us the size, age and items the child likes. From these lists we personalize each gift. You can understand the importance of this, and how much more special it makes the child feel when they see a gift box full of items picked and packed just for them.
We will spend the next two weeks packaging the rest of the presents, wrapping them, and finally hand delivering them to each child. If you would be interested in helping out in anyway, please contact us. Every little bit helps us to reach these kids, letting them know that not only are the people that care about them, but ultimately their God loves them dearly!
