HELP MAKE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL FOR THE AFRICAN FAMILIES ST. DAVID'S SUPPORTS
Go and Do Likewise project is collecting Christmas money to give to the 2 asylum-seeking families we support from Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our regular monthly donations are enough for rent, food, utilities, and attorney fees. If you would like to make a special donation to bring joy to their holidays you can contribute in two ways:
-
Bring Visa gift cards to the church and leave for Amy Moehnke at the front desk.
- Venmo any amount to Amy Moehnke: @Amy-Moehnke
Why Visa Gift Cards and not toys, clothes, or food? Visa Gift Cards allow the parents maximum flexibility to purchase what they need and want for the kids. This flexibility is part of our gift to them and gives the parents the joy of shopping for their kids. Out of your donations, we will be giving them extra money for food at HEB during the holidays. Please bring cards or Venmo by Friday, Dec. 17.
