Umbrella Tree in Hoag Hall – Donate Umbrellas!
The Outreach Committee is working with Hearts and Homes for Refugees for the annual Giving Tree donation drive, which for this year is renamed the Umbrella Tree. We can all work together to deliver both children’s and adult's umbrellas to those who need them; immigrants and refugees who are new to our communities most likely do not own cars, so an umbrella for walking to school, waiting at the bus stop, or trying to get to work or a job interview is vital. An Umbrella is not a luxury! As you shop for Christmas, it's easy to purchase an umbrella or two and then put them in the gift bin under the Umbrella Tree in Hoag Hall; there is also a bin in the Narthex. Make life a little better for someone caught in the rain.
New York Cares Coat Drive – Until December 31
A coat is not a luxury - and it's getting cold out there. Christ Church is an official drop-off/donation site for NYC Cares Annual Coat Drive. If you have gently-used or new coats for children or adults, please bring them to the church’s donation boxes, which are located at the lower parking lot entrance inside the glass doors. Hours are 9-5, seven days a week, through Dec. 31. Please help to keep New Yorkers safe and warm this winter.
