At our December meeting we discussed TRADITIONS....and FAMILY....It was SOOO neat to hear all of the different and similar traditions people do during the Christmas season. We also took cash donations from our MOPS moms. 100% of all the money we collected went to provide a Christmas for a family in need via Holly's House. We were able to purchase clothing, diapers, toys & a WalMart gift card for the caregiver of all of the children.
We began the night with a MOPS MOMS night out starting with dinner. Then we were off to Kohls and Walmart shopping away/marking off the items on the family's wish list. It was a great evening!!!
About a week after we shopped for the family in need-We wrapped up all of the gifts and a few of us went to Holly's house with our children to drop off the gifts. We did not get to meet the family in need-which is ok. It was a great experience for our children to understand the TRUE meaning of Christmas and it is always better to GIVE than to receive!
A special thanks to ALL of you were able to donate for this and if you weren't able to- thank you for praying for this family in need. We gave those 3 children and grandparents a Christmas they will never forget! You all have amazing giving hearts!!
Merry Christmas!
