First Church of the Nazarene Church in the Park “Christmas Care Packages”

The First Church of the Nazarene (PazNaz)  is hosting a Christmas Party for the children and families of Child S.H.A.R.E. This party is an incredible opportunity to show love to LA County foster families by providing a place for the children to play games, sing carols, take a picture with Santa, receive gifts, and more! Around 70 volunteers are needed to host this event for approximately 500 foster children.

On Sunday, December 21, starting at 9:00 a.m., Church in the Park will provide “care packages” to the homeless of Central Park. Care packages will contain hygiene and toiletry items such as toothpaste, soap, and hand sanitizer, as well as holiday cookies and treats. Seeking consistency, interested groups (or individuals) should make it a goal to provide 200 pieces of a particular item (i.e., 200 tubes of toothpaste). Products need to be brought to PazNaz by Monday, December 15. Individual care packages may also be sponsored for $10 each.

For those who would like to give a monetary donation directly to any of these specific opportunities, please note “Compassionate Ministries” in the memo line of the check and place contributions in the Sunday offering, make an online donation with a designation of “Compassionate Ministries,” or deliver donations to the office of Compassionate Ministries.
