On Tuesday, December 21st, the youth and their parents did something tremendous with their overwhelming positive energy. It was FUMC’s regular night to host 14-16 homeless men for Project Hospitality, and the youth had stepped up to the challenge by hosting it for the evening. They had planned a wonderful meal, consisting of homemade chicken and rice soup, Hawaiian sandwiches, salad, fruit, bread, sparkling cider, and sack lunches for the men to take with them the following day. The group pulled it off without a hitch! The greatest challenge, however, was the fact that there was a gas leak at the church, and we couldn’t use the kitchen to cook the food. We made due with a large toaster, a microwave, and some quick thinking by our wonderful parents who were on KP duty with us. It was a night full of fellowship and fun. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
A big thank you to the Brunenkants, the Chohs, the Dunlaps, the Clarks, and all of our youth!

Holiday meals delivered to Casa de los Ninos
You will be happy to know that on Christmas Eve, approximately 5 - 6 large boxes of holiday-themed, non-perishable food, in addition to a 20-lb frozen turkey and 2 oven roasters were delivered to the Casa de los Ninos Administrative offices! They used this food to meals throughout the holidays at the Casa de los Ninos Crisis Shelter. The Crisis Shelter is a safe-haven for children 12 and under who have been in abusive or neglected families. They distributed what was leftover to the other families that they serve in Tucson and the surrounding area. Several people in the administrative offices came out to our car and helped us carry the boxes in, and were so thankful to all of you for your donations. They expressed this repeatedly. So a big thank you to all of you for answering the youth's call for donations for this type of service. God Bless!
