"Christmas Angels Handout 2010"

The Christmas angels are described as messengers of god in the bible. The heavenly angels play an important role in the Christmas celebration and it is said that they brought us news of peace through the coming of the Christ child, an angel gift from God for all people on earth.

This year I am putting together a group of “Christmas Angels” that will be passing out gifts and necessities to those less fortunate in the downtown San Diego area. My goal is to get together a group of people that are willing to give their time and efforts to make cookie baskets, collect donations of clothes, blankets, jackets, gift cards, etc to pass out for Christmas.

Wednesday December 22nd (6pm) is when we’ll pass everything out downtown-

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED:

-Christmas Angels (Actually Passing out items)
-Drivers
-Bakers (preparing cookies/etc)
-Wrappers-Help packaged and wrap presents
-Donaters-Donate New or used clothing/blankets/etc;
-Chaperones’ (Men that will accompany the angels to ensure our safety)

What I am hoping to collect are ingredients to bake cookies or food that is non-perishable and already made. Clothing (new or slightly used) Winter items: Blankets, Scarves, gloves, socks, slippers, hats. Money so we can purchase items, books, calling cards, pillows or blankets, restaurant/grocery store gift cards or movie passes and toiletry items; toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, shampoo/conditioner, woman's sanitary items, deodorant, etc. Bottled water.

Put yourself in their position..what would you like to receive? Bettet yet, what would you need?
We've had some very cold nights this winter and it's only going to get worse..let's do our best to bring some happiness and hope to those less fortunate than us. Let's celebrate what Christmas is really about..the birth of our lord and savior and let's spread the word of his love through this unconditional act of kindess and giving. Thank you for your support!

I have done this for now close to 10 years with my family. You’ll be amazed to hear the people you’re giving to praise Jesus, ask to pray with you and their overwhelming gracious manner.
This is one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.
