MJM Smiles — Because of YOU

By December 18, 2020

Many thanks to our volunteers and Holiday Gift Angels that helped make the season a little brighter for our MJM Families! A very special thank you to our volunteers who served 62 clients in our drive-thru gift distribution last Saturday!

Here’s a quick snapshot of this very special Christmas joy to brighten your day as much as it did those more directly involved.

  • 89 Clients participated in our 2020 Christmas drive
  • 183 Children sponsored (51 more than the prior year)
  • More than 66 participating sponsors
  • 22 Volunteers (listed below)

Adult volunteers: Carol McQuien, Ken Seeling, Sandra Garcia-Acevedo, Courtney Holm, Nelson Holm, Jade Bailey, Laura Arbour, Steve Thompson, Kris Thompson, Uma Bailey, Barbara Heyer, Dawn Potter, Aaron Chatterson, and Eugene Castilla.

Children volunteers: AJ Chatterson, Isaac Chatterson, Hudson Holm, Eleanor Holm, Blake Bailey, Walton Bailey.

Because of this cumulative generosity of spirit, time, and resources, our Methodist Justice Ministries was able to bring Christmas smiles to children, parents, volunteers, and staff. And even if the distribution is drive-thru and hugs are virtual, the love is real. It’s Still Christmas!
