It is, once again, time for one of FBG’s favorite holiday traditions: the MinisTREE! During the month of November, you will see a Christmas tree in the Reception Area filled with numbered paper ornaments. Each ornament will have a gift request for one member of several families who find themselves in need of a little help with Christmas this year. Many of these families are enrolled in the United Ministries Housing Stability Program due to having experienced homelessness this year (this program is the successor to what long-time members may remember as GAIHN).
If you would like to participate, simply choose an ornament to take and sign your name next to that ornament’s number on the provided list. Then it’s time for some early Christmas shopping! Please return the unwrapped gifts, along with the ornament and a gift receipt if possible, to the Reception Area by November 30 so they can be delivered to the families. Thank you for your generosity!
