On now until November 24, 2024
How to Donate: Drop off your gifts at Church.
You can help spread joy and love this holiday season by donating new or gently used, unwrapped items for children and their families. Your generous contribution will bring smiles to many faces.
This year we will be donating items to the Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy, a Cleveland public school for immigrant children. The school is named in honor of an educator, Natividad Pagan, who dedicated her career to help immigrant children learn English so they could attend school and have an opportunity to achieve the American dream. This December the school is hosting a holiday shopping event which will allow the children to purchase items with tickets earned for good behavior. This event helps them to buy presents for their families and something special for themselves.
