Outreach will be initiated this weekend Nov. 15th – 16th. This is your
opportunity to assist those of Grapevine and the surrounding communities
to have a joyful Christmas. Through the Adopt-A-Family program, adults
and children are available for adoption. Ornaments are placed on the
trees which represent individuals and their "Christmas Wish List" item.
The desired item can then be purchased to help fulfill their Christmas
wish. Assistance can also be provided in other ways.
Through the Utility
Assistance program, cash contributions will be set aside to provide
assistance with the higher winter utility bills.
Produce vouchers
through grocery store gift certificates can be donated to allow families
to purchase perishable items which are not provided in the holiday food
baskets.
Department store
gift certificates may be donated to allow Angel Shoppers to purchase
wished for items
Look for more details
