It is that time of year when Volunteer Ministry Center has their Holiday Store.
For the 20th year, The Volunteer Ministry Center will host the Annual Holiday
Store program. It is a remarkable effort to enable those without Christmas shopping
money to “earn” gifts for their loved ones by using their time and muscle to complete
community service work which pays in points, redeemable at the Holiday Store.
Community service opportunities are completed at various sites.
Every year, Volunteer Ministry Center relies upon the community to “stock” the store with all newmerchandise suitable for gift giving. Many young parents shop the store, delighted
to have the opportunity to select a Barbie doll or a train set for their child. And while
toys are certainly the most requested items, many shoppers are also interested in
procuring gifts for adults they love as well.
The Holiday Store is always in need of donations of new items for stock. Items which
are in particular demand are Barbie dolls, new sports balls and equipment and other
toys. Adult items include fragrance sets, small kitchen appliances and tool sets. Any
new item appropriate for gift giving will be gladly accepted at the VMC office at 511 North Broadway.
