November: Angel Tree
November's Pennies for Mission will support the Angel Tree project.
The purpose of this mission is to provide Christmas gifts to children
in need in Garrett County and Burlington areas through Burlington
United Methodist Family Services. We work with area schools and
service agencies to identify children that might benefit from the gift of
a toy, clothing, or other personal items. Your giving to this project will
provide funds to purchase the gifts and will help make Christmas brighter for these children
and their families!
