Mission Committee Reminder: White Gift Sunday 2023
Two opportunities to be involved!!!
- Saturday, December 2, 2023 between 12- 2 PM in the handicap parking lot at Central, you can drop off your gift cards:
Entering from Hess St., dropping off, exiting onto Caroline St.
- Sunday December 3, 2023 during the service there will be a designated time to bring your Gift Cards forward, placing them in a gift box under the Christmas tree.
How can you help? Instead of purchasing toys, please provide a gift card(s) so families may safely purchase their own toys. For ease of distribution, it would be beneficial to have these cards in smaller amounts of $10, $15, or $20. If you would like to donate a larger amount then purchase several gift cards in smaller denominations e.g., for $100 donation, purchase five $20 cards. Cash and cheques would also be welcome. Please make cheques out to Inner City Outreach Ministry. Whatever amount you can manage, your generosity will improve the lives of others this Christmas Season.
What Kind of Gift Cards? The preference is Walmart as it is very accessible to many of the families who receive the gift cards, but other options are Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons. Please obtain a Sleeve for the cards and clearly indicate the dollar amount of the card for distribution purposes.
I am confident, through the generosity of Central’s congregation, we will bring some joy, peace and hope to some children and families this Christmas season. Don MacVicar, Director of the Inner City Outreach Ministry, will receive all the Gift cards, cash and cheques for distribution.
Thank you in advance for your generous support in helping to provide a gift for a child and a Christmas dinner for a less fortunate family.
For any questions or assistance please call Gloria Gavin 905-627-4318 – The Mission Committee
