2004 Creekside Christmas Hamper Program

Last year's Christmas Hamper program was a success! Families in need were impacted. Our volunteers were touched. All had been infected with this show of love. We'd love to do it again.

Melanie G. (mgreaves@creeksideonline.org) has volunteered to head up this program this year. It starts from this week and every week 'til Christmas. If you're able to bring a tin of food or other non-perishable item to either campus, a volunteer will start collecting them for the hampers. We'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

This is another idea… If you have airmiles (or points from another reward program), but don't have enough points to actually fly anywhere, this is a way to put your reward points to good use. You may want to redeem your points for items like gas vouchers etc. for the Christmas hampers.

Last year, our volunteers were thrilled to distribute these hampers to families in need, and to see families in awe, comfort and joy that people in their community cared. If you want to be on a team that makes a difference to families in our community this year, email Melanie (mgreaves@creeksideonline.org) to volunteer, ok? You'll enjoy a wonderful experience of a lifetime!

December 17th Update

We are starting to have enough to begin deliveries! We have a few families in mind, if you do as well, please let us know the following:

1) Name, Address, and phone number

2) A little about the person(s)/family and their situation

3) Their biggest need (for example, money for transportation, etc.)

Please keep in mind that unless those receiving the hampers wish to step forward, deliveries are done anonymously. Otherwise we do not, under any circumstances reveal the identity of those receiving the hampers.

Thanks, if you have any questions at all feel free to contact me via e-mail at rowan@creeksideonline.org. I?ll be happy to help answer your questions.

And just a reminder to everyone. This is the last weekend to bring in your donations for the hampers.

Thanks everyone, and have a great Christmas.
