Last month, before the Christmas holidays, The Rock Church's Toys for Joy organization asked our ministry if we would be interested in helping them set-up for the big event by using our creativity to show holiday spirit. Now, if you're not familiar with Toys for Joy, lets just say it's one of the biggest events that The Rock Church looks forward to every year. The Rock partners with various businesses, schools, and organizations to gather toys, food, and clothing for local families in need. This years event was held at Abraham Lincoln High School in City Heights with over 6,000 toys donated, 130,000 articles of clothing, and 12,000 bags of groceries.
Volunteers from our ministry got together with Toys for Joy volunteers and went to Lincoln High School the evening before the event and we only had 4 hours to get the gymnasium decorated and all toys unpacked. It was a rather ambitious task, but we all worked together to get it done! Below are a few pictures what the end result was! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Thank you to everyone who donated Christmas decorations for this event!
