Gift of Warmth – November 3 – December 15
FCCO is partnering with White Horse Recovery to bless our homeless community with the Gift of Warmth! As the temperatures drop, homeless folks in our community are struggling to stay warm. Donation bins for new and gently used items are located in the Atrium, Kids’ Welcome Desk, and the Church Office through December 15. Items collected will be distributed by White Horse.
Specific needs include winter jackets, gloves/mittens, blankets, warm socks, hand warmers, and tents. White Horse currently has lots of sleeping bags and hats already.
Diaper Drive for the Diaper Depot – November & December
The Diaper Depot is a community organization that provides diapers to families in need in the greater Ossipee area. The greatest needs are diaper sizes 4 & 5, plus pullups. Diapers must be new and in the original packaging. Collection bins are located in the Atrium (upstairs near the main entrance), Kids’ Welcome Desk (downstairs), and the Church Office during November and December. Let’s work together to bless local families!
