| Christmas Carols Filled The Air In Our Resale Shoppe |
 On December 4, we were so excited to welcome back the Munster High School Choir this year to our Resale Shoppe to sing Carols. Their beautiful voices filled the air providing our customers a very festive atmosphere in which to shop. |
 On December 19, Westminster Presbyterian Church's Children's Choir from Munster, IN performed for us at our Resale Shoppe. The spirit of the season rang throughout the store as they joyfully sang Christmas Carols for us. |
HIM Collect Toys For The Underprivileged
|
 Hearts In Motion partnered with The Carpenter's House Church to collect many boxes of toys for the boys and girls of the Humboldt Park area in Chicago. The Carpenter's House distributed the toys to the children putting smiles on many little faces this Christmas! |
 This past November, a fire broke out in a Senior Housing Center in Gary, IN. Many of the Seniors' homes were damaged by the the fire, smoke and water. Hearts In Motion was notified to see if we could be of any assistance. |
 We instantly accepted the challenge and began to collect clothing, shoes, household items and toiletries to be distributed to the victims. Thanks to our Resale Shoppe, we were able to find many of the items that they were needing. |
 On December 2, the HIM Staff along with many volunteers loaded up the Resale Shoppe box truck full of all of these items and set off to see what we could do. We were surprised to see the great need and knew we would be back. |
 On December 9, the HIM Staff and Volunteers made another trip to help the Seniors put their homes back together. This time we brought them a pot luck lunch and sang Christmas Carols. We plan on going back again in January to pick up where we left off helping them organize and once again bring them a warm lunch. |
