Degage Ministries, such a huge part of our communities ability to help people who face financial hardship, has a special need this holiday season.

Dégagé Ministries is reaching out to the community for donated, unwrapped Christmas gifts for their Christmas Store. They need the gifts by Dec. 10. They will continue to accept donations following this date, but it helps them prepare for the store to open on Dec. 17 & 18.

The dignity of buying a Christmas gift for a loved one is not always an option, especially for those who face financial hardships. Dégagé Ministries’s Christmas Store gives patrons an opportunity to purchase items at a low cost, so they can give gifts to those they love in an affordable way. The Christmas Store will be open from December 17-18, 2014 and is looking for help in stocking its shelves.
