All of our camps will be joining to support this missions in various ways.  We will bring awareness to the need that this missions is meeting, as well as give opportunities for kids to donate money (via before or after camp, or through donating their canteen to go towards the mission).  Each camp will explain how this works to the campers during their respective week!  We will have opportunities to donate during check-in and will have some more information available. 

 

Earlham Christmas Share was founded in 2011. They partner with local businesses to provide a Christmas shopping experience for families, allowing them to choose a new toy for their children. We also provide an opportunity to shop, free of cost, for gently used items. Another large part of what ECS does is  provide Christmas meals (much like you see with Salvation Army). Each meal is between $15-$20. Last year they served 103 families (this was due to bad weather, usually they serve around 150)  Please consider for your context (family, small group, extended family) to provide one meal. Donations towards this will be available at the check-in,  as well as online.
