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 Sunday, December 1st. 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
Keep an eye out for tags for the children in need of the House of the Carpenter. The HOC tree will be placed in the Narthex of the church. When returning your gift to the church, please be sure the gift is UNWRAPPED and the tag is attached to the gift (return deadline TBD). If you like, you can include gift wrap, bows, ribbons, etc.
The minimum to spend on a HOC gift is $40-50.
Florence Crittenton, the House of the Carpenter, and us here at CUMC thank you so much for your generosity in helping a child and young families in need this Christmas season.
