Christmas Baskets
In conjunction with the local Salvation Army, we continue our annual tradition to deliver Christmas food baskets to Akronites in need. This year’s delivery of 225 baskets is scheduled for Saturday, December 14 at 9AM.
Each basket is filled with a ham, eggs, bread, potatoes, milk and other basic Holiday food items that we all take for granted. We also provide a New Testament and a letter from the church that includes the 3rd Sunday dinner schedule.
We are taking donations to cover the cost of each basket valued at $50, although any donation is truly appreciated. These donations can be made via our online giving option or during the offering using the pew envelopes labeled “Christmas Baskets”.
On Saturday, December 14, we will need plenty of volunteers to deliver the baskets. You can join us in Wright-Herberich hall for donuts, coffee and street maps at 9:00 AM. In addition, we are looking for volunteers to arrive at 7:30 AM to assist in unloading the truck and loading the boxes upon arrival from Acme #1.
