For many, this time of year is a time for festivity. Family and friends gather together to spend time with one another, enjoy a holiday meal and exchange gifts. For many others the holiday season is not such a joyous occasion; it is a reminder of what they do not have and cannot afford. There is no money left over to spend on luxuries like Christmas presents. For far too many children, there will be no gifts under the tree. Over the past 6 years, the Washington, D.C. branch of MERCY Worldwide has worked with the Washington D.C. International Christian Church to provide needy families in the community with gifts to help brighten their holiday.
This December marks MERCY Worldwide’s 7th annual International Toy Drive. On December 21st The Washington, D.C. branch will once again partner with the D.C. International Christian Church to bring a smile to the faces of the needy children in our area. It is not too late to join us in giving to our community a small portion of what we have been blessed with. Help us to show mercy and receive one of the most precious gifts of all, the smile of a grateful child made joyous by your generous gift.
