Peruvian Christmas Shopping!

Here are some suggestions to assist you with your Christmas shopping:

1. The Christmas Tree Project
Why not make a donation to the Nancy Cole Women's Home in lieu of gifts for family and friends?  You can order special gift cards from us for $5 each, which contain pictures of the women at the home and the building.  The card informs the recipient that a donation has been made in their honor to the ministry at the home.  You can then send your donation, which would equate to the amount that you would normally spend on the gift.  Order your cards today!

2. Sponsor a Bed
Give the gift that lasts all year by adopting a bed at the home.  Sponsorship costs are $45 per month per bed.  This money provides food and basic necessities for the resident who stays in that bed.  You will receive a picture and short biographical sketch of your adopted resident!  This information will be updated on an annual basis.   The money can be paid monthly or sent in one lump sum for the year ($540).

3. The Hope Gift Shoppe

a. Christmas Gift for one resident - $15
