RCB Sharing Christmas Program

It’s that time - to think of those who do not have the ability to provide a Christmas for their children. Here at RCB we have the “Sharing Christmas Program”. We have added, by request from some of you to have an entire family to provide the Christmas for. This year your “Sharing” if needed so badly as the homeless and needy have increased so much it will be a hard time for so many. So please Share.

The Christmas Tree is set-up in Clubhouse 1 and the names of needy children are placed on it. Please go and choose a girl or boy to share your Christmas with; by finding some items on their wish list, wrapping them up and for convenience placing them in one big bag ($1.00 store has some good ones) with the Christmas card attached (that lists the CM# of the child, this is our tracking number, ensuring that the right name receives the right gift. Bring the bag down to Clubhouse 1 and place under the Christmas Tree, we will make sure they are delivered. Any questions call Pat 76-775-1484 or come to Lot 46.
We also, have the names of a few needy families, if you can manage to provide a special Christmas for more than one, contact Pat 775-1484 and she will let you know what is available.
We have many adults in the valley who are homeless and in great need for warm clean clothing; if you have anything a used jacket for example, make sure it is clean, Christmas wrap it and write on the label, men’s Size Large or Women’s Size small. Place these under the Christmas tree as well and they too will be delivered to the needy. Another great gift is a warm blanket or sleeping bag, as it gets colder not everyone has a bed indoors.
During the winter there is always a shortage of food and we will have a food bank container set-up in Clubhouse 1 to put your donations into, if you are purchasing a gift card please deliver them to Lot 46, Ron and Pat Johns Lot #46, 775-1484 or Michelle Tracy Lot #81, 775-3660.
We want to thank you for helping to make this Christmas a little brighter with your donations. The gift of giving is a great boost to all of us.
