Blessing of the Gifts set for Dec. 5

The Blessing of The Gifts, a holiday project by the Olympia Brown Unitarian Universalist Church, CNH Campus Connection and the Lake House Health & Learning Center, is collecting these items: toiletries, cards and stationery, bookmarks, socks and scarves, journals, small gifts, plastic net bags and yarn.

The gifts are packaged and distributed to the Southern Oaks Girls School, HALO, Women's Resource Center, Bethany Apartments, Focus On Community, SAFE Passage and SAFE Haven before Christmas. Donations may be dropped off at the Olympia Brown Unitarian Universalist Church before or after Sunday services or at the church's Annex office, 419 Sixth St. Items may also be dropped off at Lake House, 932 Lake Ave.; please call first at (262) 633-2645.

The gifts will be sorted, packaged and blessed at a special program from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 5, at Lake House. All are welcome to participate; please bring donation for projects or food pantry, if you are able.
