Annual Christmas Fair is Scheduled for November 14-26. Featured events for the Fair are the Silent Auction, Bake Sale, Count the Candy Jar, etc.
The Adams Rescue Mission began a Christmas gift program in 2008, where people from our community could ‘adopt’ a local family for Christmas.
Information from local needy families was collected (children’s ages, interests, etc.). Sponsors were then assigned to a family or a child and began the fun job of purchasing toys, clothes, school supplies, groceries, gift cards, etc, for their adopted family. What a blessing!
Through this program, and the selfless giving of so many sponsor families, over 50 families were given a special Christmas last year.
We are preparing to help at least 50 area families again this year, but we can’t do it alone. WE NEED YOUR HELP! It’s simple to help, and the blessings are HUGE! If you are at all interested in helping . . . in any capacity . . . please call us today. Some of our donors can only sponsor one child from a family, while some are able to adopt the whole family. Anything you can do to help will make Christmas special for these children and families in Adams County.
Ideally we try to provide 4-5 gifts for each child, and possibly something for the parent(s). Grocery and gift cards are welcome as they are practical and needed gifts.
Many people enjoy shopping for Christmas presents for children they’ve never met, however, it can be overwhelming, so financial gifts are also welcomed. The ARM staff will purchase the gifts for them with your contribution.
Call the office for more info! (717) 334-1128, and ask for Jen.
