There’s still time to do some good!
Metropolitan Ministries is still collecting donations to help meet the need for families ahead of Christmas Day.
The number of households pre-registered for Christmas assistance and still left to serve is 15,000. The Ministries purchased toys and gifts over the weekend, but 10,000 are still needed. There are not enough toys and gifts for the following age groups:
- Infants through age two educational toys
- Gifts for teenagers ages 13 to 17, especially boys
In addition, they are looking for more items for teens, which can include jewelry, makeup, accessories and clothing, and food items like hams, canned vegetables, and other non perishable items.
