Director Chris Poppert explains that parents can bring their children to the center and wait in one room while the children "shop" for gifts in the other room, so that they can surprise their parents or siblings on Christmas. They can pick out an appropriate gift and are assisted with wrapping the gift (or gifts) to take home with them for Christmas.
Messiah North will be part of this event again this year and will be collecting gifts starting Sunday, November 27. We will have a giving tree set up with ideas for gifts or you can bring gifts for the collection beginning next Sunday. We will collect UNWRAPPED gifts until December 4 at Messiah North or you can bring them directly to the Resource Center if you prefer. The center will accept gifts until December 9.
