Christmas in the Cold 2008

Gather your friends and donation items together to be a part of this event. Here are some interesting ways people have gathered donations in the past....

Turkey in the Park 2008 was a huge success yesterday! We had over 100 people at this year's event and gave away over 60 lbs of Turkey, Ham & meatballs with our holiday meal complete with every side dish imaginable. :)

TIP, which is sponsored by SocksAndGloves, is currently in it's 4th year. TIP just seems to get better each year! This year was filled with volunteers from our coworkers, other friends, and included 6 local churches (let's give a shout out to VCFDS, Flood, RCNC, SAAM, City Life, and our newest addition: Church of Christ Rancho Cordova). After food, games of horseshoes, Frisbee, and loads of conversation, guests left with happy faces, full bellies, and bright yellow shoulder bags filled to the brim with blankets, clothes, and scores of other give away items that were donated for the event. Volunteers who had come in cars filled to the brim with donations left with empty cars and happy hearts.

Donations for Christmas in the Cold can come with you or be mailed in advance to our SocksAndGloves address (see the left menu bar).

For those of you that donated or were at TIP SocksAndGloves sends our deepest thanks.

Thanks for your on-going interest in all we do with SocksAndGloves: a ministry where we strive to see people for who there are rather than where they live.

Also, coming soon will be an announcement about something exciting called Project 680 - which is an outreach to homeless youth within the FCUSD. We are looking forward to supporting this effort brewing in Rancho Cordova.
