The holidays mark a special time in our ministry.

At Thanksgiving,  we passed out 50 turkey dinners, distributing them as we took the children home.   At Christmas, Liberty Baptist Church held a toy drive to supplement our small supply.  Some of their young people joined our service and assisted in the distribution of these gifts, passing out everything from footballs to backpacks.

For a few, the gifts were simply a prize for coming.  But most of our children are from "inner-city" environments.  Their parents met the bus with tears in their eyes when they realized they now had a real Thanksgiving meal for their children;  the children were equally joyful, as they knew how important that meal was for the family.  For these, the Christmas gifts we provided were probably the only gifts they received.

Some of the people in these pictures, including youth, are workers.  Others are recipients of food and toys who really needed them.  We won't embarrass anyone by telling you which is which;  just know that your donations brought tears of joy to children's faces, and that your donations make a difference in many lives.
