Blessing Parents and Children

The Christmas tradition of gift giving can be difficult for families incurring unexpected hardship. The CARE Center Christmas Store collects donations of new toys and gifts and offers these items at a greatly reduced price providing the joy of purchasing and gift giving to financially strapped families. Parents are blessed with the gift of giving to their children. The children are blessed by seeing their parents as providers. Unemployed parents, or those who are barely making ends meet, will be allowed to work at the C.A.R.E. Center to earn purchase credits.
