  • Toys for Tots Event-Church Parking Lot-Front and Back

    December 13, 2025  1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

    Jennifer Hudson,Friendly Care, my Four-wheel Drive Club is looking for a parking lot location to use to stage for our Toys for Tots event on Saturday December 13, 2025 from 1 pm to 5 pm. We were wondering if the church would be willing to let us use either the front or back parking lot to stage for our event?  We would have approximately 20 to 30 Jeeps/Trucks decorating their vehicles with lights before we parade through the local neighborhoods to collect toys.  We also will have a duck game for kids, raffles and Semper fi Santa(Since Toy for Tots is sponsored by the United States Marine Corps.).
