We are so thankful to the kids, families and John Wesley Day Nursery for making sure that needy kids in our town have the proper items needed to stay warm.

Thank you Hillary Burns, director of John Wesley Day Nursery, for organizing this donation and teaching children the importance of giving to others during the Christmas season!

The families in our Wildside Youth program look forward to receiving new hats, gloves and scarves for their children each year. We are extremely thankful that Linda Baker and the rest of the staff and families of John Wesley Day Nursery give this kind donation each year. And it’s never too early to teach children the importance of giving to others and helping those in need!
