OK - well.... maybe not technically yet, but....
We are making some plans to show love! We've been approached by ATLAS to help in ministry! They are going to ask for donations for a Christmas store...
What is a Christmas store??? Well, each year, the community pours love into the hurting. ATLAS gets several calls of how people may be able to help others enjoy Christmas. SO... this is one solution. They can donate new items (ATLAS staff will give them some approximate ages so everything isn't for a 5 year old, etc:-) And 4 times in the month of December, the store will be open to "sell" these items. (At like - garage sale prices!)
If you've ever been in need, you know their is a certain amount of pride and dignity that comes from knowing that you were able to pay something for what you needed. We totally respect that, and want to be honoring to those receiving and to those whose hearts are so pure in giving.
ATLAS clients will be given "coupons" to come and shop for their family.
Where does Simply Grace come in??? Well.... we're going to run the store. Help them shop, check them out, and gift wrap it for them. (I promise Christmas Music playing too!)
If you would like to help on a Monday evening in December from 4:30 - 7, just post a comment and I'll get you written in!
We're also doing grocery "random" drops this year. If you want to donate or help "drop" let me know!
