CUMC Family & Friends,
Two giving trees are stationed at Christ United Methodist Church (located in the Narthex or Main Entrance of the church). One tree has tags for young mothers in need from Florence Crittenton, and the other has tags for children in need at the House of the Carpenter (HOC). Located in Wheeling, Florence Crittenton’s and the HOC’s success in helping children and young families in need in our community, and for many years, has not been without the generosity of fellow community members.
Florence Crittenton
Tags are available for the young mothers currently residing at Florence Crittenton. If you took a tag for Florence Crittenton, please return your gift to the church by December 3rd. Please be sure the gift is UNWRAPPED and the tag is attached to the gift. If you like, you can include gift wrap, bows, ribbons, etc.
The minimum to spend on a Florence Crittenton gift is $30. If you can’t find a gift to fit that amount, you can purchase a gift card that the recipient can put toward their desired item.
House of the Carpenter
Tags are available for the children in need of the House of the Carpenter. If you took a tag for HOC, please return your gift to the church by December 10th. Please be sure the gift is UNWRAPPED and the tag is attached to the gift. If you like, you can include gift wrap, bows, ribbons, etc.
The minimum to spend on a HOC gift is $40-50.
