During the month of OCTOBER we ask that EACH MEMBER and FRIEND of Calvary donate a purchased or handmade hat, scarf, mittens, or gloves for the annual People First event. No need to wrap them. Just decorate the tree or place your gift(s) in the baskets underneath it.
People First is a local project of love started years ago by the owner of Queen City Restaurant, Steve Elmarzouky. He opens his doors around Thanksgiving to feed anyone who would like a free turkey and ham holiday meal. Over 1,500 people are served each year. In conjunction with the free meal is a clothing give away….and sometimes other services like giving flu shots…which are held in tents set up in the parking lot of the restaurant.
Bring your donation(s) in any time the church is open or on any Sunday morning.
AND THEN…the joyous giving goes on! We let our outpouring of love continue into November and December when we will “re-decorate” the Christmas tree with SOCKS for clients of the Mifflin Community Food Ministry.
YOU CAN DO IT! WE CAN DO IT!
Let’s spread the warm love of Jesus by covering the hands, heads, ears, necks, and feet of our neighbors.
