We Care Angel Tree 2020

Friends of We Care,

In spite of so much uncertainty in the world and all of the changes that has required, we are delighted to invite you to participate in our Christmas outreach again this year!

Last year with your incredible generosity, we were able to provide Christmas to over 500 children! We also provided wrapping paper, blankets, stockings, family gift baskets and even had an adult gift area! This required extensive coordination of practical and human resources, and we were thrilled to provide it! We were so looking forward to doing the same and even more this year. Sadly, as with everything else, this year will necessarily look different, and we will not be able to repeat this model of Christmas distribution.

  • THIS YEAR ALL CLIENTS WILL RECEIVE GIFT CARDS ONLY. Gift cards in the amount of $25 will be distributed to clients according to family size.We know this is a significant change from years past, but it is the best way to ensure safety for you as our sponsors, as well as for volunteers and clients.

We are asking for $25 gift cards for stores such as Target, Wal Mart and the like, or $25 Visa or Master Cards that can be used anywhere.  While we ask that you limit the face value of the gift cards to $25 each….there is no limit to the number of cards you can donate.

Because clients will need time to shop with their gift cards, client distribution will be Saturday, December 5. That date is quite early this year!!! For that reason,  we must receive ALL gift cards BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Mt. Horeb has committed to providing forty (40) $25 gift cards to this cause. Gift cards can be purchased and returned to the church at scheduled worship services, mailed to the church or slipped under the office door. We need to have these by Sunday, November 22nd so they can be taken to We Care and then distributed to families.

As always, thank you for your continued support! The “Angel Tree” may look different this year in these unprecedented times but it could not happen without your generosity!
