Join us in providing over 750 Christmas presents for “at-risk” children and teens through cooperation with Lancaster County Children and Youth (CYA)! We are hoping to collect a wide variety of gifts and $30 gift cards from Target or Walmart for all ages and both genders. Gifts and gift cards will be delivered to CYA, where social workers will match gifts to specific children. All gifts are welcome and no gift is too small. No matter what you purchase, please commit to praying for the child and family who will receive the gift and for the social workers involved with the family.
May the light of Christ shine through your generosity!
