Once again this year we are able to bless the residence of Joseph Creek Care Village and Kootenay Street Care Village through Christmas gift giving.
Anyone may participate by picking up a tag from the tree in the foyer, starting November 28. This year the tags are a little different. Each tag has a list of items needed including personal hygiene items as well as some more personal items. In an effort to simplify the type of gifts that are donated and to make it easier for the staff at Joseph Creek to process them, they have now given us this list of gift suggestions. You may choose to purchase one or more of the items on the list. Please do not wrap gifts, if you would like to include a medium sized gift bag, that would be helpful – All items are due back to the church by Sunday, December 15.

Wrapping your gift
Please do not wrap the gifts. Instead please place them in a gift bag.
NOTE: **Please do not add in treats or baking to your gift. Although it is a kind thought, many of the residents are on a modified texture diet and/or have allergies. Food additions to the packages may cause unintended harm.
Thank you for your participation, your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
