bIts & pIe ces Save the Date: Eighth Annual Gingerbread for Humanity Mark your calendars now for Saturday, Dec. 14, so you can attend Trinity Presbyterian Church’s eighth annual sugar-infused tradition known as Gingerbread for Humanity. Decorate a fully assembled gingerbread house and take it home for the holidays while supporting North Collin County Habitat for Humanity. “Be sure to bring a group of friends and loved ones for a great time!” said Trinity member Pam Hatch, one of the event organizers. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, December 14 at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 5871 W. Virginia Parkway in McKinney. Cost: $32 when you pre-register; $38 at the door (spaces limited) Registration details: Go online to www.tpcmckinney.org and click on the Gingerbread icon to download the registration form. The eighth annual event at Trinity Presbyterian combines family-oriented fun with the opportunity to make a positive difference in McKinney. When you attend our event, you will receive a fully assembled gingerbread house ready to decorate with tons of icing and access to a smorgasbord of sweet trimmings from the candy buffet. Mrs. Claus will be on hand for photographs with decorators and their gingerbread
creations before they head home with their decorated house. If you cannot attend, you can still participate by purchasing a take-home gingerbread kit. Kits contain fully assembled gingerbread houses and plenty of frosting and candy for decorating at a later time. “Our kits are great if you’re planning a special event for the holidays,” Hatch said. It’s a great time for a greater good. All proceeds benefit homes to be constructed as part of North Collin County Habitat for Humanity’s mission “to put God’s love into action by building homes and communities.” NCC Habitat is part of a global non-profit housing organization operated on Christian principles. The organization encourages positive relationships throughout the community by advocating for fair housing policies and by providing training to help families improve their shelter conditions. “We hope to see you December 14 at Gingerbread for Humanity!” Hatch said.
