Tis' the season for all that is joyous: Christmas is right around the corner! For most of us, this means getting together with family, enjoying each others company, opening presents, and ultimately recognizing and celebrating the day that our Lord and savior Jesus Christ was born. Unfortunately, there are many in our own city that are a bit less fortunate.
I spend most of my Sundays at the Chouteau Courts Housing Community, giving the children there a better hope for the future and letting them know that they are loved and valued. It breaks my heart knowing that just fifteen minutes away from my home, there are children who aren't prepared for the season. Not unprepared in the sense of excitement, family, traditions, but in regards to warm clothing - gloves, hats, and jackets.
With the help of a few other leaders at New Life Ministries in Kansas City (http://www.newlifekc.org), I am holding a fundraiser for the children of Chouteau Courts. I know we have a limited time, but I truly believe we can achieve our goal of providing winter clothing for these children in time for Christmas.
Here's one big way you can help: donate! Whether by a monetary donation - every $1 helps - or by giving gloves, hats, jackets...anything you can offer will help bring the spirit of Christmas to children in need! These precious children range from 4-12 years old, and they will be incredibly grateful to know they are cared for and will be warm this winter. All I ask of you is to give anything you can, whether a donation or a prayer.
Below shows how you can donate. Also listed is my contact information, in case you'd like more information on our children's ministry (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fam-Jam-KC/248070255222327) or to set up a monetary, clothing, or other kind of donation.
