    Description

    Gifts and clothing distribution to children

    The Gifts to the Manger program at Washington UCC provides new toys, clothing, socks, underwear, hats and gloves for children in the 45225 and 45214 zip codes (the lowest income zip codes in Cincinnati). Each family also receives a large food box with a frozen chicken or turkey. This year we are blessing 287 children from 83 families! We do this through the support of many, many organizations: churches, businesses, individuals and generous financial donors.

    On Saturday, December 13 from 9 to noon and 1 to 4 an army of volunteers will transform the fellowship hall into the North Pole! On Sunday, December 14, elfish volunteers will help the parents/guardians select gifts for their children and pick up a box of food.
