This year, our Teen Action Council is partnering with The Change Wagon for a Christmas Giveback Day at Ebenezer Children's Home. Together, we will provide a warm holiday meal, and our teens added their own project: stockings for children. They are specifically asking for monetary donations so they can make a Walmart trip out of their weekly meeting to intentionally shop for the children! They will be stuffing the stockings with age appropriate hygiene supplies and fun goodies! Our teens are hoping to raise at least $25 per child. If they raise more money, they plan to divide the extra money to spend more on each child! 🎄

If you would like to contribute to the stocking drive or sponsor a child's stocking, click here: https://givebutter.com/2026-stocking-drive-bsw3yu?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAVWB0NleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAmZkaWQWURhOskgzE0Ony3iG_YdvP4RAwgIJUXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp8FnbFnkEp9RkTXp9J6QSoYF5Br5rUY-txDc7O7HmuJWeMnQW1h6yWlV7FDq_aem_D_lb21hm5zMh2qxgqFGV3Q
