The Children’s Village at Christian City is in need of the following items and would appreciate any help the community can provide:
• Sponsor A Child: Choose a boy or a girl to sponsor and receive a photo, profile and regular updates. $30 a month helps to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing and education.
• Donations to Graceland Thrift Shop. Proceeds help to pay for the education of the children who live in the cottages. Volunteers are needed to work in the Thrift Shop to accept donations, sort, and help with customers.
• Gift cards to Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger, or Publix.
• Paper towels, napkins, and toilet tissue.
• Canned fruits, vegetables, and pasta.
• Peanut butter and jelly.
• Individually wrapped snacks and drinks.
• Personal and dental hygiene products.
• Kid-friendly cereals.
• Batteries.
• Cleaning supplies.
• Ziploc bags of all sizes.
