Westminster extends heartfelt gratitude for your support during our recent Essential Garments Drive for South Park Inn. Through your benevolence, we were able to provide warm and essential clothing to the clients at South Park Inn during a time of particular need.
As we navigate the Christmas season, we embark on a new mission—collecting gift cards for the guests at South Park Inn who often arrive with just the clothes on their back, hungry, cold and tired. In a manner akin to the Wise Men's offerings, these gift cards provide a modern-day treasure, offering flexibility for those in need to obtain essentials such as food, personal care items, clothing, and other necessities.
As we do each Christmas, Westminster will be collecting these Magi gifts, also known as white gifts, to be distributed on behalf of our Ministry at the South Park Inn. Just as the Magi's gifts were a beacon of hope and support for the Holy Family, your contributions of gift cards will illuminate the lives of those facing hardships this Christmas. Your kindness resonates with the timeless tradition of giving, reflecting the true spirit of this sacred season.
The South Park Inn shelter suggests gift cards to any of the following locations: Stop & Shop, Big Y, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Subway, McDonalds, gas stations, Uber and Lyft. Gift cards will be collected through Christmas Day and can be either put in the collection plate this Sunday, left in our secured locked mailbox outside our church entrance or dropped off with Becky Kimberly, church administrator, in the church office.
May our collective efforts continue to emulate the love and compassion exemplified by the Magi, bringing light and joy to those we serve.
