E&H provides gifts for 22 children at Meadowview Elementary this holiday season
Posted
Emory & Henry College students, faculty and staff adopted 22 angels from the local Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.
The Angel Tree program is one of the most effective resources that provides gifts of new toys, winter coats and clothing to thousands of children who otherwise might not have anything for the holidays.
“Spiritual Life has been organizing this campus-wide effort for many years, and we have staff members and student groups who look forward to shopping for children in our community every holiday season,” says Sharon Wiley Wright, College Chaplain and Co-Pastor at Emory United Methodist Church.
The presents are collected in Memorial Chapel before the semester ends before being delivered to Meadowview United Methodist Church, where they are then distributed to families.
