Help Christmas Sharing with monetary donations
Families in District 200 need our help. As we prepare for a drive-through Christmas Sharing experience similar to last year, please consider donating at garychurch.org/give. Guests will receive food, toiletries and household supplies—all bought in bulk. Christmas Sharing needs money by Sunday, Nov. 21 to purchase those items, plus provide gift cards to families.
