Christmas
At Christmas time we usually serve a different meal - ham and potatoes etc. In 2025 we will serve the Saturday after Christmas, Dec 27th. We'll meet at church at 9 am in the kitchen - come join us!
If you'd like to bring some special Christmas treats for our meal you could bring them to church on the 27th. Perhaps you made extra cookies, or received too many gifts of chocolate that might interfere with your New Year's resolutions? We got you!
Casseroles needed! - If there is any chance that your teams can make extra casseroles in Nov. and Dec., we really need casseroles around the holidays. Things like green bean casseroles, mac & cheese, lasagnas and breakfast casseroles help A LOT. I do want to flag one allergy issue to see if we can avoid this ingredient or at least label it. We have a shelter guest with a dangerous capsaicin allergy. We would want to avoid bell peppers, chilis, etc. My understanding is that the guest can eat things with black pepper seasoning but we should avoid things like paprika.
if you want to bring a casserole on 12/27 to church we can pass it along. Otherwise just take it to NH.
Nativity House guests are always in need of help. Please notice the attached information about when you can donate to NH and for ideas about what they need.
If you're shopping on Amazon it's really easy to get a few extra things to help people at Nativity House. Find their wish list here.
How about making Christmas stockings or holiday gift bags for guests? We could bring these with us on Dec 27th if you bring them to church that morning. Suggestions include
warm winter gloves
handwarmers
personal hygiene items (dollar store?)
activity books like Sudoku
magazines
coloring books
holiday treats (homemade or not)
At this time, donations will not be accepted until after the holidays. Please see the attached information. Donations can usually be dropped off at NH - 1323 S. Yakima Ave, Tacoma
