The Giving Tree

Urgent needs for some families are basic fundamentals for others.

Throughout February, we'll be collecting donations for shoe vouchers, haircut vouchers, and gas cards. You can chip in by purchasing $10.00 cards representing donations towards each of these efforts. Proceeds will be given to Citizens Against Domestic Violence and the Eldon Community School Advocate fund to provide these essentials to families in need.

The Eldon Ministerial Alliance (EMA) will host this project. Throughout the month of February 2021, the EMA churches will have trees decked with cards of three colors representing the three opportunities to give (Pink for shoes, Red for haircuts, and White for gas cards). Each card will hold a value of $10.00. You can pick a card (or two or three or MORE!) off the tree and give your card and $10.00/card donation to the designated person at each church.

Donations will be accepted from February 1 - February 28, 2021. Churches participating include

  • Bethany Lutheran

  • Eldon First Christian Church

  • Eldon United Methodist Church

  • First Baptist Church of Eldon

  • New Life Assembly of God

  • Ninth Street Christian Church

An additional tree is available at Whittles Pub and Grub!
