Come decorate cookies with the kids, help with Christmas arts and crafts projects. Or, you can contribute the sugar cookies to decorate!

Backpack Buddies with Airport Heights Elementary The backpack buddy program is designed to provide food for the weekend

for children of families in need. Airport Heights Elementary has identified

50 children in need and they have been able to meet their goal to

send home 4 meals that the children can prepare on their own. PLEASE

CONTINUE TO HELP. For the month of December the school is collecting

donations of peanut butter and jelly for the Christmas break.

Donations can be placed in the backpack buddies bin.

The Holidays are brighter when we share!

We help the Willow UMC feed hungry families in their community. When shopping, remember the family beyond your door.

Help fill the red barrel - and bring joy to those in need
