CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SPREE!!

Every year some generous corporations give about 50 kids from our afterschool programs the chance to go shopping for their families!! The kids are given $13 each at a dollar store and are given a chance to pick out gifts for their family members. 50 kids, one dollar store...sorry to anyone who showed up to shop when we were there!! But the kids had a blast picking out everything from a pair a gloves fod dad to christmas plates and mugs for mom and grandmom.




After the kids shopped, we took them over to Rutgers where we wrapped all the presents and got some snacks, including pizza and soda! The Camden Riversharks mascot also joined us for the party!!



And then of course to wrap up the Christmas festivities, what better way to end it than a visit with santa!!





It was a great time to have the kids focus on someone else and to be able to give to others.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you visit us again for more updates in the New Year!!

Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord!
