Once again, the Mission Ministry will celebrate the arrival of the Christmas season with collections for vital local charities.
This year our first recipient will be the Coat and Holiday Shop, which benefits Greater Boston communities.
Subsequent collections will be the gathering of toiletries for Emmaus House, Inc., and of food and household items for the Reading Food Pantry. The main collection box will sit just inside the church Sanctuary.
Our collection schedule is as follows:
- November 30 – December 7 – NEW coats for the Holiday Shop, winter accessories, toys, gifts for children and teens, sports equipment, and gift cards.
- December 14 – Toiletries for Emmaus House
- December 21 – Food and household products for the Reading Food Pantry
- From now until Sunday, January 4th – we are also collecting gently used adults’ and children’s coats for Anton’s Coats for Kids & Families project. The box for Anton’s coats will be outside the Chapel.
More specific details on the later collections will be posted closer to the dates. Thank you in advance for your participation and generosity in this holiday season!
