One of our members asked the church to take on a special community service project a few years ago called "Small Mall." We open our doors so families can bring their children to shop for Christmas presents to give to their family members.
Each child is chaperoned by an elf who helps them pick out free gifts based upon the list they bring to our Small Mall. Once all the gifts are selected, they take to them to a table where more Christmas elves lovingly wrap, label, and bag their gifts. You can see from a few of the pictures below of happy children & elves.
We have over 100 children come through every year for this short 3 hour event. Members from our small rural church volunteers to be elves along with friends and family that we invite to assist. Each year our event has gotten bigger and we need MORE VOLUNTEERS!
If you know of families with children aged 3-12, invite them to our Small Mall. If you are willing to be a volunteer to help us with the event, please contact me at the email address below and I will provide more information so that you can spread some Christmas Cheer.
Our church provides all of the gifts, decorations, wrapping paper, and time to make this event a success. All you need to do is show up!
