The Social Ministry Committee's Advent Project for 2024 is to collect items for the children served by the Salvation Army. 

The Harrisburg Capital City Region is in need of items for approximately 3,000 children.  We are not doing a “Tree Tag” collection this year.  Instead we will be collecting donations of NEW items from the following list.

 

* Books for all ages – 0 to 16 years of age

* Board games or card games                                                                                  * Fleeces throw blankets – boys and girls

*New children and teen clothing items

Hats and gloves in all sizes

* Toys – ages 0 -16 – Please include batteries if needed for an item.

* Arts and crafts; coloring books, crayons and markers 

* Colorful socks and slippers

* Retail gift cards for teenagers – especially – Target, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Five Below

ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE WRAPPED, BUT THEY MUST BE NEW. ITEMS NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THE CHURCH BY DECEMBER 2, 2024.

Reverse Advent collections should be brought to the church by Christmas Even.  The list of items is in the newsletter and the Sunday Bulletins.  This is an effort to restock the Food Banks for the Winter Season.
