Hello! It’s FUMC’s Missions Committee’s Senior Santa time again, and the seniors whose names have been collected by Home Instead are wishing for presents, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Be A Santa to a Senior program is run by Home Instead. The program benefits seniors in our area who may not receive a gift or who have little to no family contact for the holidays. Senior Santa at FUMC normally involves collecting a tag (or two) from the little Christmas tree on the patio. We will again have 50 names of seniors. However, because of the pandemic restrictions and the need to keep workers and frail seniors safe, all the giving will be on-line!
Home Instead has collected names and created an Amazon web site so that you can simply click on the link, select what you would like to purchase and then order and pay for it. The gifts will be sent directly to Home Instead. Workers at Home Instead will then wrap, label and deliver the presents in early December.
Give online to the First United Methodist Church group here! (Gifts need to be delivered by December 10 to give adequate time for wrapping)
