******************************************

As the weather turns chilly and the daylight hours grow shorter, it’s a good reminder to look out for our neighbors who are living without reliable shelter. And as some folks are celebrating the bounty of the harvest and giving thanks for food on the table, it’s important to remember those who are going without. 

We will be continuing to stock our Little Free Pantry, delivering Care Packs, and adding some cold-weather goodies to the Little Free Libraries as well (much thanks to a teammate who has us well-stocked with all flavors of teas, coffees, and hot cocoa packets!) Times are uncertain for indoor shelters and soup kitchens, so we’ll do what we can to fill in gaps and work with others who are serving those in our community needing support at this time.

Immanuel Church

221 Church Street, Ferguson

This is the only Little Free Pantry we’ve located in the area. It seems to be used frequently, and re-stocked not as frequently. Since one of our team members works right across the street, and is now back to working on-site, we can keep a better eye on it.

There are unhoused neighbors in the area, and low-income families that could use the help.

Silver Bells by Bing Crosby

Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of Christmas Children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, Hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights, even stoplights Blinkin' bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle you hear
