House of the Carpenter
We Need Your Help!
The House of the Carpenter is looking for general donations for children this Christmas. It is immensely helpful to have a stock of items on-hand from which to draw supplement gifts when a sponsor isn’t able to fulfill their commitment, when an item provided by a sponsor isn’t age appropriate and needs to be swapped, when a child is unexpectedly removed from their home by Child Protective Services, etc.
Won’t you please consider an item or two from the list below and bring it to Church by Monday, December 1st, so we can deliver it to the House as they prepare to assemble gifts for 190 families and 590 children:
- Board Games
- Art Supplies
- Sports Balls of All Shapes and Sizes
- Stuffed Animals
- Anything an older child might enjoy – journals, pen sets, perfume/cologne sets for young people, gift cards for fast food or places they can go with their friends, etc.
If you prefer to do some online shopping, you can purchase something from Amazon and have it shipped directly to the House using this QR code.
Super easy yet meets the needs quickly!
