The Auxiliary is launching our annual Christmas for Children Project, named for Marion Stanley, who led this effort for many years, together with other Pilgrims. We wanted to get this on your radar a little earlier this year, so that we can as a church be successful in reaching our fund raising goal of $4000, which we were able to raise last year.
 
We plan to give a $40 gift card to the families of each child who attends the All My Children Child Care. This is a subsidized child care center that meets in the lower level of our church building. This year there are 75 children enrolled. Last year we also provided $40 gift cards to children enrolled in the Bilingual Exchange which meets weekly at Pilgrim to tutor ESL students, many of which are from financially challenged households. There are 25 children enrolled in the Bilingual Exchange program.
 
Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated. Please send donations by December 4 to Irene Laube.

Or bring or send your check to:
Pilgrim United Church of Christ
3011 Academy Road
Durham, NC 27707 

Make checks payable to Pilgrim Auxiliary and write “Christmas for Children” on the subject/memo line.
 
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
