Delivered!

Our favorite day!! This week we were able to deliver 334 hats, 355 gloves, 537 pair of socks, 29 coats, 11 scarves, 7 pajamas, and 6 blankets to Oqquirh Elementary, where they will go to the homes of children in need on Christmas morning. Thank you to all who donated!! There were "Christmas Miracles" the night before and again the morning we took the goodies. Which means to me that this little, tiny charity is being led by someone not so little. God knows our needs. Both tiny and big. He will always hear us. And He will always help us.
As we dropped the bags off, it felt strange handing them over without Alec, who started this all. We missed him in every step. But walking down the hall toward the school doors, Luke pointed to a small tile hanging on the wall that had been hand painted by a child, "Look!" - it was a beautiful flower and the name - Honduras. We felt Alec's love and Christ's love in the same moment.💙

Keeping it going!!

Alec's younger brother is keeping this going! This is what he shared on social media today:

Hi everyone, this is Carter, Alec's little brother. A lot of you
 
have asked if we were still doing For the Warmth of the
 
Children while Alec is on a mission. I promised him I would,
 
so the answer is yes! 

We are doing something a little different this year. If you want
 
 to donate hats, gloves and socks we will have drop off
 
locations in South Jordan and Sandy UT. Email us if you would
 
like to know locations. Every single item
 
helps these children!!!! We will come pick up too.

*OR, if you want to start a little collection with your family,
 
 friends, neighborhood, church group, school class, dorm
,
or yourself- start collecting!!! Then donate it in the name of
 
"For the Warmth of the Children" and send us totals and
 
 pictures of your delivery or post your experience and
 
hashtag your photo's with ‪#‎FTWOTC‬. Then we will send
 
Elder Johnson everything you did.
 
Thanks guys!

10 AMAZING years ...


10th ANNUAL
“For the Warmth of the Children” 2014

We are so excited for our 10th year!!! It's a little bittersweet as Alec is now serving a 2 year LDS mission in Honduras and will not be able to help collect this winter. He is far from home serving in a different way, but he will definitely be in each of our hearts as we gather 'warmth' for these children. Elder Johnson's family and friends have promised to carry on his foundation and we are dedicated to surpass his goals of the past 9 years. Our neighbors need our help! Many are without homes or jobs throughout this winter, and we can change their Christmas morning.

The title one schools that will benefit this year from your donations are Oquirrh, Majestic, Columbia, Heartland, Westvale and Riverside.

        We are currently asking for donations of
new or gently used Hats and Gloves and NEW Socks only.


THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
*We will collect until December 9th
