A Delightful Christmas Play!
Children who attend the LINC Hope Learning Center performed their Christmas Play for their family and friends on December 19th. And what a performance it was! They proudly wore their Christmas costumes, and played their parts with much enthusiasm. These children are all pre-school, but you wouldn’t have guessed it based on how well they remembered their parts, and delivered them to their entranced audience. The children were very entertaining and, oh so happy. They each shined like a bright little star— Job very well done indeed! Continue reading “A Delightful Christmas Play!”

Christmas Store at LINC
LINC St. Charles County is hosting its Christmas Store again this year for low-income families in need within the tri-county area of St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren. LINC is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) charity that has been in Wentzville at 9 Love Park Lane for over 25 years.
For the past several years LINC has shared God’s Love at Christmas by providing new unwrapped Christmas toys/gifts for boys and girls, ranging in age from infants to 18 years old. LINC Staff and Volunteers escort the parents into the Christmas Store where they select age-appropriate gifts for each child, and later wrap them for Christmas. LINC is unique in that we ensure that the toys/gifts go only to families in “true” need as we screen/ interview them all.
Last year LINC served over 200 children from phone calls received in our office, to children that attend LINC’s Hope Preschool and families who frequent our food pantry. This year LINC hopes to increase the quantity of Christmas Store donations so we can serve around 400 children in need.
If you can, please help make some children, living right here in our own communities, very happy this Christmas by providing new, unwrapped Christmas gifts. All new toys/gifts are welcome, but we recommend that they be within the $5 to $15 price range. Gift cards of $5 or $10 are also needed as this allows flexibility should toys/gift items within a particular age group become depleted.
Please bring new, unwrapped toys/gifts and gift cards to LINC, located at 9 Love Park Lane in Wentzville, MO. (See map on LINC’s website for additional directions.) Call 636-332-5127 if you would like additional information or have any questions. If you prefer to donate to LINC for us to purchase the toys/gifts for the Christmas Store, please donate by visiting our office or donate via our website at: https://lincscc.wordpress.com/donate/
If you have an interest in volunteering to help us setup the Christmas Store and/or escorting parents to select gifts for their children, please contact us at 636-332-5127. To learn more about LINC, please browse our website. If you, or someone you know, is low-income and struggling to provide gifts for your children this Christmas, please contact us at 636-332-5127.
