Joyful Harvest Neighborhood Center is hosting its annual Kid’s Shopping Event, Saturday December 17 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. This year we have again partnered with Second Congregational Church and once again we will be offering a free full breakfast for the entire family!
At Joyful Harvest we empower children to take part in Christmas by providing an opportunity for them to give gifts that they could otherwise not afford to buy for members of their families. Each child will be allowed to pick two to four gifts for family members. They will then be assisted in wrapping the gift before taking it home to put under the tree. This program is available for youth up to age 17.
The Kid’s Shopping and Pancake Breakfast will be held Saturday December 17, 2010 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm at Second Congregational Church 19 Crescent St, Biddeford. A second shopping date is planned for Monday December 19 2:30 to 5:00pm at Joyful Harvest for those unable to make it to the Pancake Breakfast. It is strongly advised to plan to attend the Saturday event if all possible due to a decrease in donations this year.
It should be a fun morning for families, with a special visit from Santa planned. There is no cost to take part in this program. FMI: Call Joyful Harvest at 286-9105
Note: We are still accepting donations of items as well as there is still a need for extra volunteers to assist on either Saturday or Monday, if interested or to get more information, please call the center 286-9105.
