As you start to assemble your Christmas trees, decorate the mantle, and hang the wreath on the door, if you come across any decorations you no longer want - DON'T THROW THEM AWAY!!
Graceworks is collecting decorations for those affected by the flood in May. This is a GREAT way to get rid of decorations you no longer use without adding to a landfill, or for those of you that need an excuse to go shopping...... use this! No amount too small..... want to get a new Christmas Tree Skirt - donate the old one! Need new stockings this year.... donate the old ones! Out shopping for some new ornaments.... grab a few extra and donate those!!
See the details below: You can contact Graceworks at www.graceworksministries.net if you would like more information.
A new initiative this year is called Noah’s Christmas, intended to offer those affected by the May floods an opportunity to replace Christmas decorations, ornaments and displays for free.
The decorations will be distributed on Saturday, December 11 from 9 am until 4 pm at Watson Glen Shopping Center, next to K-Mart on Highway 96 in Franklin on a first come, first served basis. These decorations are available to anyone affected by the May 2nd flood with a valid FEMA number. Each family, with a photo ID and FEMA number, will be given a shopping bag to fill with their choice of donated items.
Graceworks is asking for donations of gently used holiday decorations, which can be delivered to any Brentwood fire station prior to December 10, or to Graceworks Ministries. Financial donations may also be made to Graceworks Ministries to purchase additional items for this program.
