Every year we work with the Holiday Help Drive of East Troy by donating items to families in our community who are in need of a little extra help this holiday season. The drive runs from November 22nd - December 10th. If you or someone you know is in need this year, please do not hesitate to reach out to Marilyn at the East Troy Family Community Resource Center 642-4900; easttroyfamily@gmail.com.
The community center anticipates the greatest need for family adoptions this year due to lower numbers in our churches and uncertainty of what COVID19 may bring again this fall/winter.
Our collection is divided up into two efforts:
It is VERY important your WRAPPED item has the gift tag firmly attached and returned to church no later than Sunday, December 12 by Noon.
**Children’s pajamas—any size up to adult
**Children’s socks and underwear—any size up to adult
**4-packs of toilet paper
**2 packs of paper towels
**Small toys that would fit into a stocking
**Personal hygiene items:
soap, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, feminine hygiene products (etc.).
You will be seeing additional bulletin advertisements for items needed and instructions on how they will be collected. For further information on this program, please check out the Holiday Help page on the Community Center's website.

Our collection is divided up into two efforts:
- Giving Tree - There will be a Giving Tree at the front of the church until the gift deadline, the weekend of December 11/12. On that tree will be tags for gifts that need to be purchased for families who have requested help from Holiday Help of East Troy. These gifts are not luxury items, but maybe one or two really desired items for Christmas. It may be one of the few times these families receive anything new or special. Each tag will also have a confidential code so that the gifts can be matched with the recipient. Please take as many tags as you are able.

- School Collection - The school does an additional Holiday Help Drive to fill the gap for items that are sometimes expensive to fit into the monthly budget or something to put in a child’s stocking for Christmas morning. Please consider bringing any of these items to the school office during school hours between November 22nd - December 10th.
