You may order your refreshments and food from the Comedy Catch menu. It’s gonna be a great afternoon to raise money for our community so bring your dollar bills for the entertainers which they donate all their money to the unhoused Community all donations from Quilt auctions will go to the unhoused community also a percentage of the door cost so let’s raise more money this year than ever to keep our families, warm, sheltered, and fed this year. Hope to see you there. You can purchase your tickets online at the Comedy Catch or you can purchase your tickets at the door.

Kindness is often at it’s most powerful
when it’s given to someone who could never repay it. ❤
This year Paw Paw’s Homeless Ministry has created an Amazon wishlist that will show the
community what our specific needs are for Miracle on 11th St. This is our Christmas
celebration with the unhoused to help them feel loved and worthy. They will receive a hot meal,
coat, blanket, and a gift bag of essential items to help them survive the harsh elements of the
winter. This will most likely be the only Christmas that they receive. With your purchase you will
be a part of making that happen. They are sincerely grateful.
