  Chris tmas Spirit 2010

 

The Chris tmas Spirit Program is the heart of the of the Women’s Division.  The majority of the funds we raise are used for this program and it encompasses some of the most rewarding projects that we engage in.  

It takes teamwork and the combined efforts of our members to accomplish our goals and we encourage all of our members to take part in this program.

We are very proud of  GRACE – The Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange organization and we partner with them to identify those who will benefit the most from the Chris tmas Spirit Program. Please visit http://www.gracegrapevine.org/ for more information on GRACE.

The four main projects are:

Spring Sunshine Baskets – April, 2010

Small gifts and personal products for GRACE Senior and Disabled Clients

Chris tmas in July – July, 2010

Small gifts and personal products for GRACE Senior and Disabled Clients

 School Supply and Backpack Distribution – August, 2010

School supplies and backpacks are provided to GRACE Schoolchildren – In 2009 over 600 children benefited from this program

  Chris tmas Spirit Wish Tree – December, 2010

Women’s Division members interview GRACE Senior and Disabled Clients to find out what their Chris tmas wishes are and coordinates with others in our community to fulfill as many requests as possible.  In addition, the Women’s Division provides personal care and cleaning products, gift cards, and postage stamps in a useful container and delivers them along with the Wish Tree gifts.  In 2009 105 people benefited from this program.

In the words of some of the seniors who we were able to help in 2009:

“I want to thank each one of you for the wonderful, needed gifts I received; without precious people to help the needy, some of us that don’t have families would have a sad and empty Chris tmas. God bless each of you for your love, consideration, and thoughtfulness…”

“I thank the Lord so often for the people that he sends to love and care for others as kind and gentle friends”

“Thank you, my angels”
