The following report comes from Linda McCreight, one of the volunteers instrumental in coordinating the “Gifts for Ramos” collection:
December 18, 2023
“Once again, this December, the Asbury congregation has welcomed 16 Ramos Elementary School families into the warmth and joy of Christmas giving. In this Allentown school where 90% live below the poverty level, your generous outreach has encompassed 61 family members with donations of clothing, toys, gift cards and needed household goods. The abounding care shown by so many in our faith community is heartwarming and truly appreciated in this season of love.”
Thank you for generosity this Christmas season!
About “Gifts for Ramos”
Each Christmas, Asbury helps to spread Christmas cheer to families at Ramos Elementary, our partner school, by helping families in need with Christmas gifts. Over 90% of families of attendees of Ramos Elementary School live below the poverty level; and teachers and counselors at Ramos identify a few families in especially great need. That list is then shared with the Asbury congregation so you can prayerfully decide what individuals or families you may be able to support at Christmas.
