Love I.N.C. in need of volunteers to help in the 2011 Childrens Christmas Gift program
Placeholder Image
Love I.N.C. of Manteca is looking for “adopting families” to buy and wrap Christmas gifts for needy children in the area.Love In the Name of Christ, a nonprofit organization, is expecting to serve about 500 youngsters in its 2011 Children’s Christmas Gift Program. Love INC director Stephen Parsons said that total number is in addition to the 250 children that are being helped through the Manteca Unified School District, the Soroptimist International service club of Manteca, as well as other organizations that are partnering with them in this effort.Last year, Love INC’s affiliation with the school district resulted in 160 children being helped. All in all, 509 children received Christmas gifts through this program.By matching the young gift recipients with the “adopting families,” the program eliminates any guessing game when it comes to providing the right size, color or choice of gift to a participating child.
