Oh yes we need a little Christmas

Angel Tree and Adoption of FP Families

We will have an Angel Tree set up the weekend of November 21-22. There will be 50 kids who have one or both parents in prison. These names come directly from the Angel Tree organization. We will also have about 20 kids from Beumont Elementary.

FYI, if we have a FP family that needs assistance, that is handled totally separately. We have groups adopt those families. If your group is interested in adopting a FP family in need this Christmas season, please e-mail Jody ASAP.
