Advent & Christmas at the Chapel
Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard Donations Dedication Today
A list of suggested donations is in the foyer. Cash in our Noisy Can goes toward buying steeply discounted cases of fresh foods, boxed and canned staples. Thanks for your steadfast generosity.
Hats, Mittens and Warm Pants for School Children
A favorite Chapel Christmas tradition is to donate new warm hats, gloves and mittens to three local schools that serve many low-income families. Pre-K children’s sizes of these items, especially waterproof mittens are especially welcome.
A special request from one school is for gently used snow pants in sizes 4 to 14 and children’s sized boots. A Mitten Tree and receiving baskets are in the foyer. Thank you!
