A local tanning and waxing salon emailed our church with the following request:
“Each Xmas I have helped different charities and have managed to get our clients to contribute to give as well each year! This year I personally want to help 3 different families in our area locally that need some help this year. I would like to arrange a hamper for each family and hopefully I can get clients to donate gifts & goods to the chosen families. I was told that your church would know who would benefit from this.”
This is great on so many levels:
- Partnering together to care for those in need.
- Its a great thing for those in need to receive this Christmas.
- We both cross promote each other, as we let people at church know and they let their clients know about the venture… awareness of both groups grows. Mutually beneficial.
- It’s an encouragement to know that we have a reputation in the community of “doing good” and would know people in need this Christmas.
So this Salon will do up some hampers and then we will distribute it to 3 people we know who would welcome such a gift this Christmas.
What are life dinners?
