St. Mark families are again providing gifts of new clothing or shoes for children from the Hawk’s Prairie and Friendly Grove (previously Rogers) Centers for Head Start. This year there are a total of 152 children from the two schools. The Giving Tree works like this…St. Mark receives names, clothing suggestions and gift tags from the schools. You choose a child, purchase and wrap the gift – being sure to attach the all-important gift tag, then return the gift (and the in-kind donation form) to St. Mark by Sunday December 11. The gifts are sorted on Sunday afternoon and delivered to the schools bright and early Monday morning.
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to chose a child (or two) this coming Sunday. The Giving Tree brightens everyone’s Christmas. If you have questions, contact Jan S. or Gail F.
