Hi everyone, as many of you know The Relay communities of Atwater and Merced and some other passionate groups host a Christmas Party each year for the Children with Cancer and their families. The party consists of a full Turkey lunch and dessert; Gifts for each cancer patient and their siblings under 18; Santa; face painting, singing etc. Well as you can guess we will not be hosting the party in person this year, BUT instead well will be doing the same structure, but we will ...deliver the gifts and complete dinner(ready to cook) to each of the families. All gifts and food items are donated by our compassionate friends. We are anticipating about 18 families. If you would like to help us out, please let me know. I have a list of food items needed and Maria has a list of the kids on the list. Thank you so much for your consideration! If you have any questions feel free to email or message me. Thank you, Kathy Flaherty See more
