House of Peace Toy Drive
Take yourself, spouse, kids, grandkids, niece, nephew — or the whole family shopping for the Deacon Gene Christensen House of Peace Toy Drive. We fill the altar with toys (unwrapped or in gift bags) on December 13-14. Capuchin Community Services will use our gifts to provide children the joy of Christmas morning. Over 1,000 central city household parents will “shop” for toys in a respectable, store-like atmosphere at the House of Peace. Most needed are presents for children 10-yrs and under:
Playdoh Sets • Scooter • Hot Wheels Cars & Track • RC Car or Truck • Coloring Set & Easel • Action Figures • Jumbo Character Stuffed Plush Animal • Etch-A-Sketch • Basketball, Football, Baseball, Soccerball • Children’s Books • Other toys for newborn-10 years of age
It is such an awesome sight to see hundreds of toys adorning the altar. And what a beautiful symbol of Christ’s love and who we are in our outreach and service.
