Scam Alert – Watch Out For Fake Charities During Holiday Season
Collecting Coats & Toys For Empty Stocking Fund
Life is full of sweet moments, especially at this time of year. From baking with grandchildren to celebrating with family, there are countless experiences that add warmth to the season. As you gather together this Thanksgiving, West Central Telephone encourages you to remember the many moments that have contributed to your grand feast. Phone calls to plan the menu. A lively day in the kitchen. The gathering of loved ones. It is an ideal time to give thanks for the many blessings we all enjoy, especially the simple things that mean the most to us.
In the true holiday spirit, we invite you to start a new family tradition of helping others. There are many people in our area without warm winter coats. We hope to help by collecting gently used coats, hats, scarves and gloves to distribute to families in need. From now until mid-December, WCTA will accept donations at the Sebeka and the Menahga offices. Gently used coats should be clean and in good condition. We are working with the Mahube-Otwa Community Action Partnership, Inc. to distribute the coats; if you are in need of a coat you should contact your county office. We are also collecting new toys and gifts for those in need, working with The Empty Stocking Fund. All donations of toys, games, gifts and money will be distributed to area families just in time for Christmas. Drop off your donations at either WCTA location by December 6th so that they can be wrapped, and matched up and delivered to families. The Empty Stocking Fund is a local organization that works with area churches and schools to help needy families at holiday time. Families in need may be working families with a lower income that just covers the basic needs, or a family that because of a tragedy can no longer afford Christmas presents. Let's help make Christmas morning special for everyone in our communities!
