"Feels like we must have bagged a ton of rice!" Well, we did! 1250 kilos to be exact into 520 bags along with a can of sardines and some noodles all thanks
to the generous giving of missionaries living in Beverly and some coming from other places. We gathered in the Gunderson
home once again to sack up food and blow up 500 balloons all to give out on Christmas morning.
Deborah and her team created a winter wonderland replete
with Frosty the Snowman and companions in our garage for the children.
Missionary volunteers along with our Filipinoneighbors gave away 500 beautifully wrapped coloring books and color crayons donated by MADS, a group of international
moms along with a balloon for each child.
The event has grown over the past 20 years to become the huge experience it is now. Within an hour everything had been given away. What we can accomplish when we work together is truly beautiful! Thank you to everyone who gave of their time, finances, and love to make this possible. What a gift to so many!
