First grade and their Meeting partners, fourth grade and third grade, spent time this week decorating and filling holiday gift bags for homeless men at the Whosoever Gospel Mission in Germantown. The Whosoever Gospel Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization, which serves all people, whose purpose is to provide shelter, food, clothing, education, counseling, rehabilitation and other assistance to homeless and/or needy men, women and children in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. The gift bags will provide snacks and a variety of personal items, that are not readily accessible, to individuals helped by the mission.
The first graders enjoyed the time working with their partner classes creatively and thoughtfully designing the gift bags and were pleased to know that their work would brighten the lives of others in our community.
