Cleaning Hearts and House

Prepare your house to welcome Jesus this Easter by going through your home and cleaning. Find items to donate such as clothing, toys, or things you don't use anymore. These items can be organized and placed in bags that are ready to donate once the charities are reopened and you are able to deliver them.

Some suggestions to donate items include:

A Note in the Pocket - Children's clothing: www.noteinthepocket.org

Dorcas Ministries - Clothing, books, toys: www.Dorcascary.org

Durham Rescue Mission-Clothing, toys, books, household items: www.durhamrescuemission.org

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was stranger and you made me welcome." Matthew 25:35

Go on a scavenger hunt with your family and collect all of the loose change you find in your house and cars. Count all of the coins and have your child consider adding some from their allowance or earned money and make a donation in that same amount to a local charity that is providing food for those who are hungry. You can choose any charity you would like to donate to but the following are providing meals currently:
