Gift giveaway scheduled for Christmas
EPHRATA — Our Redeemer Presbyterian Church at 172 Ivy Street SE in Ephrata will host His Helping Hands for a Christmas Day lunch and gift giveaway on Christmas from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Event organizer Dawn Prince said His Helping Hands expects hundreds of people to attend the event, providing free gifts for children up to 12 years of age.
Children who are present will receive a gift bag with a stuffed animal, a wrapped gift, a stocking filled with toys and a candy-filled cane while supplies last.
Prince said about 300 to 350 people are expected to attend, but the group will be prepared for 400 children. Lunch will be served at the event as well.
Prince expressed her appreciation for the Columbia Basin Foundation which has recognized His Helping Hands as a nonprofit organization they will support for events such as this.
