Congregational Church UCC is going to lend a hand. This year Foodshare
is asking for $30 donations in honor of their 30-year anniversary. We
have signed up to collect FROZEN Turkeys and $30 donations, however
monetary donations of any amount are welcome. Weve set a team goal of
100 turkeys and $2100.
-
Look for the signup board in Chapin Hall and let us know you'll
be participating, so we can be prepared to deliver the turkeys to
Foodshare.
-
Bring your FROZEN turkey and monetary donation to the church
anytime between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm on Sunday November 18th.
(Checks should be made out to FOODSHARE.)

December 9 - Toy drive for Covenant to Care
This year our Project Toy Drive will be a little bit different. We are teaming up with our Covenant-to-Care Social Worker to provide Christmas gifts to children in the Hartford area. The presents that we purchase will be the only presents that many of the children receive. We have a list of 50 children to provide gifts for. Each child has one gift request. The name, gender, age and request for the child will be printed on an ornament that can be taken off of a Giving tree that will be located in Chapin Hall. Please take the ornament, purchase the gift and bring the wrapped gift with the ornament attached to church on December 9th. We will bless the gifts and present them to our DCF social worker. Please see Kari McCaw-Blaise (kariblaise@hotmail.com) for questions or if you want to purchase a present and the ornament tree is empty.
