Angels still available

There are a few angels left on the Angel Christmas trees.

The joint effort of the Pea Ridge Ministerial Alliance and Bright Futures provides gifts for children in the community.

All gifts must be returned, unwrapped, to either Pea Ridge City Hall or First Baptist Church by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7. It is requested that since the gifts will probably be the only ones the child will receive, a minimum of $75 and no more than $100 per child be spent.

"We always hope that children will receive both clothes and toys," according to the literature for Angel Tree. "If you are unable to provide both, please indicate on the outside of the package and we will try to balance the gifts. We fully understand that some of the gifts requested may be excessive and we do not expect you to buy all of them. We suggest necessity items first."

To donate gift wrap, ribbons, bows, or tape, drop it by the First Baptist Church.

For an additional $10, a food care package (22 items) for the family of each child may be purchased. Make the check out to First Baptist Church Pea Ridge.
