Hello Peacemaker Family,
Thank you for all your prayers and funds donated for Thanksgiving. We were able to feed 86 families!
Now we would love to bless some families for Christmas. We've already received a request for 20 meals including turkey and sides. We would like to feed those families plus more!
If you feel in your heart you would like to bless a family this year we have a few options. We have several families available for "adoption." Three families have already been "adopted." This entails providing their Christmas meal and possibly buying gifts for children. The families available for adoption would be homicide victims families or families from the Santee neighborhood in San Jose.
The Santee Neighborhood, located in southeast San Jose, is in need of continuous services in order for its conditions to improve. It has been been known for it's high crime rates and poor housing conditions, but it is slowly improving with help from the city and community based organizations. Anything helps, and together we can make a difference for this community!
We are working to connect with families in this area, and we would like to bless as many as possible with meals for Christmas. Instead of adopting a family you can donate money or Safeway gift cards toward the purchase of meals. There is also a need for baby diapers or gift cards to a baby store.
Please let us know if you are interested in getting involved!
Thank you,
The City Peace Project
