The “Giving Project” Returns to First Presbyterian Church Dec. 18-20
Free shopping days for Head Start and Christian Child Care students

 

[December 15, 2018]  LINCOLN - The annual Children’s Christmas Shopping event will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, December 18 through 20, at First Presbyterian Church (FPC) of Lincoln.

As in years past, children will be bussed from Head Start and Christian Child Care to the church to shop for family members. They will arrive at the entrance of the Community Education Building -- now transformed into their own personal store, where every item is FREE!

Each of the children, ages three to five years, have a list of names for whom they are shopping. Volunteers from the congregation will assist the small shoppers in selecting items for the special people in their lives. Additional volunteers will wrap and bag their purchases before they depart.

Like any good shopping trip, the children will enjoy cookies and juice before re-boarding their bus and returning to their early childhood programs. Each child will also receive a bag of their own, with gifts to take home.

The FPC Mission Team is particularly fond of this project and the great relationships the church has established in support of Community Action/Head Start and Christian Child Care. The entire church family works together to make this event special for the teachers, children, and parents in the Lincoln community.
