WE GOT YOUR GOATS !
Because of the incredible generosity of Prince of Peace Church and Pre School, our families and friends, we have raised over $1000 to purchase live goats to help impoverished families to survive. The ELCA World Hunger Appeal is uniquely positioned to reach communities in need. Now our ten beautiful goats named JOY, LOVE, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GENTLENESS, GENEROSITY, FAITH, SELF-CONTROL, and JESUS IS THE G.O.A.T. have found new homes throughout the area and by our pre school.
On December 15th, we will take Target, Walmart, and Amazon gift cards to the Center For Hope and Safety to help the abused women and their children.
We will also be delivering men’s and ladies’ clothes and toiletries to the Bergen County Homeless Shelter in Hackensack. Men’s boxers, briefs, T shirts, sweat pants and sweat shirts, and hoodies in sizes medium to x large are really needed. Again these items have to be in church by December 15th.
In December and January, we will be collecting Shop Rite gift cards, regular shampoo and conditioner, bars of soap, child and adult toothbrushes and toothpaste, and men’s and women’s deodorant. Any other foods would also be appreciated.
Any questions about the above, call Evelyn Passante at 201-768-0355 or email evelynpassante@aol.com.
Have a blessed Christmas.
