Weekly Update – October 26th

Hi everybody. Hope you’re enjoying the last week of October.

Brandon and I have been working to get more community involvement for The Joy of Christmas, but we’re going to need everyone’s help. We’ve secured a few more toy drop-off points in town, plus we’ve got some contacts at Stonebriar Centre that might work really well! We are very excited about how this event is coming together. In addition to toy drop-off points, now is the time to push for donations.

Our box-making event that was originally scheduled for tomorrow night has been canceled. We are waiting on a few more donations before we start our boxes. However, we will have them ready by next week, when they will be dropped off at our stores.

Feel free to give us a call with any questions or ideas. We will have flyers available early next week.

Be blessed and be a blessing.

Simple Weekly Update

Welcome again to the Frisco Reach Out blog!

There are no events this week, but we wanted to remind everyone to subscribe to our email newsletter by going to our homepage, www.friscoreachout.com, and signing up for eNews and Updates. This is the best way to stay in touch with us. In the coming weeks, we will be creating our toy drop-off boxes and placing them at restaurants and businesses throughout town. It is our belief that helping Frisco requires community involvement. We’d love to have you, your family and your church or business on board.

Here’s to a great week! There’ll be more info next Monday. God bless.

First Day of Donations

There’s not much going on this week yet. Last week’s task force meeting was quite productive though. Here is an update!

• DONATIONS BEGIN TODAY

Today, October 5th, is the official start of our Christmas season. While our families are definitely not ready for such holiday cheer, the church and Frisco Reach Out have already begun planning our first ever Christmas event. We begin accepting donations (like food, toys and seasonal items) today. Our boxes will be available at stores throughout the community by November 4th, but until then, we are offering limited pickup or delivery. Please give us a call if you or your family or company are ready to begin giving.

• TIME TO SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER

We have several meetings before the actual Joy of Christmas event. Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering for any of the event or work days.

• PUSH FOR DONATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY

We have had a difficult time finding a corporate “liaison.” While we know that the Lord is fully able, we also know that we want to get the neighboring community and the businesses of Frisco involved in giving for this event. We are looking for individuals and teams who are willing to work with, approach or contact some of the local corporate  businesses for cash and non-cash donations.

In the coming days, we will be printing flyers and meeting with other churches in town. We are proud to be doing so well – proud to be planning ahead and finding other people who are interested in this ministry. Please remember to sign-up for email alerts and to let others know how to join in. Have a great week and God bless!
