MISSIONS
Holiday Hope Toy Drive Event
The Rock at Noonday is holding a toy drive on December 18 at their facility for needy families who are working to rebuild stability and hope. This event is for their children, and Hoffmantown has agreed to partner with the Rock and provide toys for children 8 years old and younger. If you would like to help support, toys should be new and unwrapped and brought to Hoffmantown by December 14. We also need 15 to 20 volunteers at the event for gift sorting, wrapping, greeting, meal service, etc. To volunteer at the event, visit hoffmantownchurch.org/events.
Shine Clothing Drive
Arroyo del Oso, our partner school with Shine, is looking for donations of adult size S-M sweat bottoms and adult size socks in S-M. If you would like to donate, donations can be brought to the Reception Desk no later than December 12. Thank you!
News About Angel Tree
The Angel Tree assignment process was changed for 2025 resulting in far fewer children being assigned to Hoffmantown Church than we expected. We will take the necessary steps to remedy this for next year, but this year the Angel Tree children assigned to Hoffmantown are covered. However, The Rock at NoonDay is organizing the Holiday Hope Toy Drive for families and children to share compassion, joy, and encouragement during this special season. Hoffmantown was asked to partner with the Rock for the first time this year to support this event.
Date: December 18
Time: TBD (tentatively 3-6pm or 4-7pm depending on school schedules)
Location: The Rock at Noonday
Ways Hoffmantown Could Partner:
· Volunteering (gift sorting, wrapping, greeting families, meal service)
· Helping with setup or teardown
· Supporting any specific age group or need
· Donating toys or gifts for boys and girls ages 0-18-year-old. To donate toys or gifts, please provide a new unwrapped items for children of all ages, especially 8 and up by December 12 to be collected here at Hoffmantown.
