Empire Elementary Gift Drive: We Need Your Help!

Empire Elementary school is trying to support over 200 children this year with their angel tree. We are working with the Empire on providing 10 children some gifts for the holidays. Each of these families has provided their pant, shirt, and shoe sizes as well as a gift request. If you would like to help with one of these children, please let me know which one you will be supporting and what you will be providing (shirt, pant, shoe, and/or gift). I have already purchased some Barbies for the two girls in Family C. These will be delivered to the children's families on Dec. 19th. You can bring in your donations to the FFT warehouse any day up until Dec 18th.

We are also donating some of the canned food from our food drives to their holiday baskets.

Thanks for all you do for the children we serve.
