C.H.I.L.D. PROGRAM
Many of you will recall the CHILD Program sponsored by the Methodist Church in Nehalem. This program provided 188 children in our area with new clothes when they go back to school this fall. Now is the time of year they gather new clothing and toys for our children at Christmas time. Right now, there are 100 children in the program with more to come.
The program helps people who are working, paying their bills, but can’t stretch their budgets enough for anything extra. If you are new to this program your part is somewhat simple. Each child has two tags, one for clothing and one for toys. You will find a number on the tag which correlates to the name of the child, you will find out what the child needs, their sizes, and favorite color. You purchase the items (you don’t have to get everything on the tag) and return them to the Methodist Church in Nehalem, or the place where you picked up the tag. Currently there are tags in Manzanita at the US Bank, Columbia Bank, and Manzanita Grocery and Deli. Please keep the tag with the presents so we can match up your purchases with the child. If you, your business or organization would like a tag(s) please get in touch with me, Patty, pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net or leave a message at 503-368-6081. Shop online or shop in person, whatever works best for you. Donating dollars to the program will also work as a group of shoppers goes out to fill in the gaps.
Donations can be mailed to CHILD PROGRAM, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Or. 97131. Be sure you indicate on your check this is for the CHILD Program. The message telephone number for this program is 503-368-5612. You can also email nbumcchild@gmail.com. If you want a receipt for your purchase, please leave a SASE with your gift.
A community of people thank you for your kindness and generosity.
