Update on Recent gifts for St. Johns

Here is the update from Vicki Ruben regarding some recent holiday donations to support the “Adopt a Family” effort from Saint John’s Program for Real Change.

Although this project was launched on short notice and not “officially” organized by SIM, thanks to the donations of this giving community we were able to jointly raise about $420. With Barbara Colton single handedly taking on the wish list for the youngest child we were able to most of the wishes for this family. Funds that came in after the shopping was completed, as well as an extra pair of rain boots, were funneled to other families in need at St. John’s. Thank you for trusting me to run with this project; it was truly an honor and a joy.


If you’re curious, or if you gave a donation through Vicki, here are some details on the shopping distribution:

  • Brenda, a 9 year old girl Brenda received a dress for church, rain boots, tennis racket and balls, craft set to make bracelets, and a scrapbook and stickers.
  • Her nine year old twin brother Brandon received nice pants and shirt, two sets of Legos, a science kit, and the twister game.
  • The seven year old girl Bethaney received two or three sets of pants and shirts, socks, under wear, baby doll, troll stuff, troll giant coloring book, and rain boots.
  • The mom received bras and underwear, black tennis shoes, faith based journal, and personal hygiene items as requested by her.
  • As a family they received a 120 piece art set, drawing pad, and Scrabble game.
