The Mission Committee has had a full and busy fall season. In October, Janet Hansen and myself brought apple pie & ice cream to Peace Village where 24 residents enjoyed a treat.
November brought our Annual Food Drive which was divided by 3 families from Lockport School District #91 for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, along with a $50.00 gift cards from Walmart to use for both holidays. The money from the gift cards came from the Blessing Bucket, which totaled $270.00. There were also 7 large bags of food donated to Lockport Fish Pantry, who were very grateful to receive the donation.
December Janet Hansen and I gave a little Christmas party to the Circle Inn residents with cake, cookies, and small gifts to the 20 residents who came. Pastor Kirk serenaded them
with Christmas carols and sing along. The giving Tree was back again to assist the 3 families from Lockport School District #91. There was 56 gift tags on the tree and disappeared faster than I could write them down. All the gifts were then brought to Kelvin Grove School where the social worker called the families to pick up the gifts. Once all gift tags were taken we filled the tree with hats, scarves, and gloves to be donated to the Lockport Resource Center.
Thank you to everyone who helped make these families have a brighter holiday.
