For 14 years, Redeemer members have had the opportunity to shop for the girls of Wellspring Living! These children (ages 12 – 17) have been sexually trafficked and are on a path of restoration with God’s grace and the care of Wellspring Living. On the back of each ornament on the Angel Tree in Sims Atrium will be a suggested gift card Gift cards in any amount will be used for the girls’ school and craft supplies, meals, clothing, special outings, or for stocking the boutique where the girls can “shop” for special items as rewards for scholastic achievement. Write the value on your gift cards and place them in the box by the tree. The tree will be available from November 16 through December 14 Thank you, Kathy Hill and the women of Northside Circle for the creation of the ornaments. For questions, contact Charissa Schultz or Amy Carpenter via Realm

As the weather turns cold, purchasing coats for every family member can be a significant expense We are working to gather coats for all clients who have arrived this year If you are able to donate even one coat, it would greatly impact families of 9 or 11 who face the need for hundreds of dollars in warm clothing
