Last year, CCWTN served 2,165 children and senior citizens at Christmas with gifts of toys, warm clothes and food baskets. This year’s goal is to serve as many as 3,000 individuals from 500 different families.

CCWTN is in the process of collecting donations of toys, bicycles, warm clothing, personal care items and other essentials for children, teenagers and senior citizens. Donations may be dropped off at CCWTN headquarters located at 1325 Jefferson during normal business hours. Cash donations to support the Gifts for Gods Children outreach may be made on line at ccwtn.org (please designate Gifts for God’s Children).

Distribution of gift baskets and food boxes to pre-approved clients will occur the week prior to Christmas in partnership with MIFA, CSA, Jubilee Catholic Schools, DeNeuville Learning Center, RISE Foundation and other community partners.
