It’s time to spread some SUM love and holiday cheer! SUM and LLI will be making the holiday season merrier for approximately 100 children in need identified through the Covenant to Care Hartford program. Our liaison Catherine at CCC says the need continues to be greater than ever due to higher costs of goods and services. Catherine shared that the gifts from SUMC are often the only presents these children will receive during the holidays. The items listed on the tags are requests from the child and/or suggestions from a parent or case worker. Please feel free to provide similar/substitute items as well as additional items such as art supplies and age-appropriate books and games.
You may choose a tag from the giving tree in Wesley Hall or make a monetary donation or both! Last year we were able to support an additional 18 children using the generous monetary donations received. Donations can be to the church - please note CCC in the memo. All money collected for CCC goes towards purchases for children.
Please return your gift and the tag no later than noon, Sunday December 6th. We would prefer to have the gifts sooner if possible! Please return your gift in a holiday gift bag with folded tissue paper. Please include the tag as this is how we match your gift to the requesting child. Gifts may be returned on Sundays to Wesley Hall or dropped off any day at Melissa Fearrington’s house.
Thank you in advance for your generous holiday spirit and for making a difference for children this Christmas!
Peace, love and joy!
Melissa and Sandy
