This is the 3rd straight year we've done this AoK and it's become a fun holiday tradition for us. In the past, we've blogged extensively about how the outing went, and even received some nice press for it from the Daily Star. This year, we tried something new by making a video of the outing and capturing the reactions of all 50 workers. The results of them smiling are sure to make you smile.
The stores we visited this year were Dick's Sporting Goods, Sears, Bath and Body Works, and JC Penny. The gifts went quickly and were all gone within an hour. Even though we weren't able to give out as many care packages as last year, we're pleased to have had the ability to do it. Also, we're happy to report that, between all 3 years, we've given away a total of $500 and blessed 250 workers.
This is one of our church's favorite annual outreaches and we look forward to doing this again for Thanksgiving 2016 and blessing even more workers. Want to help?
