Many of us remember Marion Stanley, a beloved Pilgrim who was one of the driving forces behind an annual drive to brighten Christmas holidays for children. In her name our church Auxiliary organizes a drive every year to support the families whose children attend the subsidized day care that meets daily on our church campus. This year that center serves the needs of 82 children!

As you well know the need is great. Last year we gave each child a $40 gift card. This helps parents defray the heavy cost of the holiday with money for toys or clothing. We need the help of our congregation to meet some of those needs. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by us and the families.

Please send checks to Irene Laube. Make out the checks to Pilgrim Auxiliary with Marion Stanley in the subject line. Alternatively, make checks payable to PUCC. Getting checks in by December 6 helps us a great deal. Thanks for all you do, Maggie Dolbow 🌲
