Circumstances can make the holidays difficult for families. For the past 5 years our church has done a Stuff Your Stocking Drive Thru for families who need a little extra help with gift giving at Christmas. If you or someone you know could benefit from this please feel free to share. All you have to do is come in your car, with your kids and a stocking for them and drive through our line of volunteers and we will fill the stockings as you drive through. No need to even get out of your car! Our church is in Elmhurst, but you don't have to live in Elmhurst to come. The Drive Thru is happening Friday Dec.19th from 6:30-7:30 @ 586 N Michigan St. Elmhurst. (It is a first come first serve basis, I only say this because we have run out in the past.) Merry Christmas everyone!
