Caring Kids

Sunday, 5 December 2021 - Sunday, 19 December 2021

In this season of joy, let’s encourage our kids to be the light for other kids as well. We are collecting “shoe-boxes” for the children of homeless and undocumented migrants.

Many of the migrants have no home of their own and the children sleep with their mama on the couch of someone else’s livingroom. They don’t have any toys or stationery. These children are supported throughout the year by providing safe places for them to play and grow as well as meals and clothes.

This Christmas we want to surprise them with gift boxes filled with toys, crafts materials and other much needed items.

The shoebox(es) can be brought on the following days:

  • Sunday, December 5 at HWC (during Sunday Services 9-12)
  • Sunday, December 12 at HWC (during Sunday Services 9-12)
  • Sunday, December 19 at HWC (during Sunday Services 9-12)
  • Thursday, December 9 at Community Center (between 9-15)
  • Thursday, December 16 at Community Center (between 9-15)

Toys, boys & girls: PlayDo, puzzles, music instruments, blocks, lego, knuffles/soft toys, colouring books, books, skipping rope, ball, yoyo, domino’s.

It would be nice to add a Christmas card with a message and scripture for the kids.
