Gifts to Give 

Picture
Click on image to learn more about Gifts to Give
 At its simplest, volunteers process donated children’s items which get inspected, cleaned, organized and packaged into individual gift packages which are then gifted to local children-in-need, but it’s more than that. Gifts To Give gives young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to learn and understand that through their “doing”, the power of giving, and service and that we all have gifts to give.


Helder will be organizing a group tour of Gifts to Give and will coordinate for those that would like to volunteer their time to help this great organization.
