Then, we ask members of the MU community (faculty, students and staff) to sponsor families.
Next we recruit volunteers to shop, sort, wrap and deliver. It took four days to deliver.
All is well in the end. God is Great!
Amber Lee is one of the faithful ones - she is here helping every year.
Each gift is wrapped with much love and care.
Each child received an article of clothing, a book and a toy. Modest gifts in this land of plenty.
Tara is one of our alumni - she started helping with the project when she was a student.
My friend Larry Willis. He has helped me in a lot of projects for years now. Nicki's children think that I am married to him.
The stuffed animals are mostly donated. It is up to us to distribute them to the families.

We were able to help 60 families with 154 children. Sr. Caroline from St. Christine Christian Service sent a very nice thank you letter. We helped with 30 out of her 800+ families.
