Every year at Christmas, the boys at Gentle Hands do an outreach of some kind to those who have nothing at Christmas. For the last 7 years, we have done grocery bags, and Christmas stockings to Escopa where we have been heavily involved in community outreach.
This year, we will be putting together 130 care packages for the youth jail, young boys who are mostly from very poor families and will have nothing special this Christmas. We want to share Jesus with them and show them that someone cares and that there is hope for their lives!
If you would like to be part of this, our budget is $10 a package!
Bar of soap
Hand towel
Bar of laundry soap
Cookies
Bread
T-shirt
Shorts
We will also be putting together grocery bags to be given out Christmas Eve night to street children who roam the streets near our place. We are hoping to put together at least 50-75 meals. We will cook it and deliver it out in “to go” plates. We are estimating a cost of $100 for this.
Help us give Christmas to the poor!
