to it. All gifts cards MUST be  returned by
SUNDAY DEC 15.  Gifts for Wilkerson families

Hey Hope Family (and Facebook friends) we are coming down to the wire on gift cards to be passed out to those in need in the community... Not just our church community, but the families we sponsor from Wilkerson school, and those in our local community who have approached us for help. Gift cards from anywhere for any denomination will be accepted and passed on with love. Their is tremendous need, so any blessing you can give is appreciated. We will be passing them out a week from today, so the families receiving them have time to shop for their kids. Thank you for being a blessing to me, and allowing me to share your blessings with them.
