Help homeless kids give a holiday gift to their moms

YOUNGSTOWN

Every year homeless children living at Beatitude House have an opportunity to pick out a gift for their mothers, wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree. This is made possible through donations from the community.

Items may be practical such as gloves or socks, or something not-so-practical, like a bath set or perfume. Gift bags and tags also are appreciated especially by volunteers, who help children wrap presents. No candles are accepted.

To donate to the workshop, bring unwrapped gifts to Beatitude House’s administrative offices, 238 Tod Lane, on the campus of St. Edward Church. Donations are accepted between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Deadline to donate is Dec.13. For more information, 330-744-3147.

Beatitude House serves disadvantaged women and children in the Mahoning Valley by creating homes, providing education and fostering healthy families.
