This annual event, for children (ages 16 and younger), offers an opportunity for children of the community to experience Christmas shopping in a warm, safe environment at a very low cost. Members of the church and community have collected items that can be purchased by the children for their family. With the help of their parents, children make out a shopping list and dollar amount to be spent. Gifts are then wrapped and labeled for free. There will be adults and teens from the church to help each child while they shop.
There will also be an area for the parents to wait while their children shop. Refreshments will be provided.
To donate items to the Giving Gallery, contact Chrissie Doyle at 479-619-6425. Text or leave a message.
