Description
Christmas Sharing will take place at eight Wheaton and Warrenville churches December 9th and 10th. Families that are chosen to participate will visit one of the designated churches and may choose clothing and household goods, new Christmas toys for their children, and receive a box of food.
The eight distribution centers are Aldersgate United Methodist, Blanchard Road Alliance Church, Community Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church of Wheaton, Gary United Methodist Church, Holy Cross Lutheran, St. John Lutheran and Trinity Episcopal of Wheaton.
This is truly a community event. School District 200 students are collecting food, clothing and toys. The district donates its vans and gas to transfer the collected items and food to various churches. Every church prepares for Christmas Sharing in its own way, but mostly it is a week or sorting, sizing, and stacking clothes, shoes, toys, books and household items. Non-perishable food is sorted and food boxes are prepared for each family according to size. Donations, whether money, food, clothing or household items are needed. To learn more about Christmas Sharing and how to make a donation or volunteer your time, please go to www.christmas-sharing.org and contact one of the churches involved.
