We picked up ornaments from around the Jesse Tree. We brought back gifts. We know that the items would go to low income families in Sarpy County, but exactly how does that work?
All the items were brought to the Bellevue Christian Center. The items were categorized onto tables.Then, parents had a turn to come into the center and choose items for their children.
As each of these people shopped, there was a volunteer nearby with a box.
These volunteers would explain how many items they could get from each category and carried the items around for them.
Once the presents were chosen, more volunteers were on hand to wrap the presents.
While families waited, there was coffee, hot chocolate ...
... cookies and soup.
So while they waited for the wrapping,
families had a place to relax and eat.
Thank you to everyone who brought
gifts or were a part of making
Christmas Merry for families this year.
(Only volunteers were phototgraphed.)
