Cookie Drive

Each year Loving Food Resources organizes to collect and distribute homemade cookies to men and women living with HIV/AIDS as an expression of love and care during this season of giving.

To participate, please bring four dozen homemade or bakery cookies to the Cookie Party on Friday, December 14. The event takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hill, Chiles Ave. in Asheville. There will be holiday treats, music, and lots of cold milk for all to enjoy while we pack 150 boxes of cookies for Loving Food Resources clients.

Can’t attend the party? Cookies can be dropped off the day of the party at Ace Hardware on Merrimon Avenue in North Asheville. Visit www.wncap.org for more information.

Sponsor a Child for Christmas

Eliada is seeking families, businesses, churches, and other groups who are interested in sponsoring needy children and adolescents for the Christmas holidays. Sponsors can shop from “wish lists” that the children create, or give a cash donation.

Children who receive gifts are needy youth from Eliada’s treatment and education programs. For most of these young people, the gifts they receive from sponsors are the only gifts they will get for Christmas.

Please join Eliada in bringing joy to children in our community. Anyone interested in sponsoring a child should contact Nora Scheff by emailing nscheff@eliada.org, calling (828) 254-5356 x 303, or visit www.eliada.org.
