FTWOTC Turkey Trot 5k

This year as part of our collection efforts we decided to put on our very own 5k Thanksgiving morning down the trail where we live. We invited our little neighborhood and family members and only asked that they bring either gloves, hats, or socks for us to donate. In return we had the most beautiful chilly morning, and after the run we served fruit, water and hot chocolate. We are surrounded by the best people, and we think this will be a new collection tradition! #Forthewarmthofthechildren Turkey Trot has been born. 2016

2016 Starting to collect!!

For the Warmth of the Children 2016

After being in Honduras for 2 years Alec is more motivated than ever to help those who need us! The call is out! Help us #lighttheworld !! We are trying to warm up 2 states this year. (and hopefully more soon!) 

Alec is collecting for schools in Virginia, and his family is collecting for Utah. 

For the past 12 years we have been working hard to give warmth and light during the Christmas season to the children right here in our own community. The temperature has dropped and the snow has come. This means these children need us. Please visit forthewarmthofthechildren.blogspot.com for details and pictures of past collections.

We have the opportunity to change our neighbors Christmas morning. Not worrying about keeping their children warm will give our friends peace and joy. And of course, give those children the opportunity to play in the snow! 

Let us show others our love by giving generously this year.

For the Warmth of the Children collection includes:

New or gently used Hats and Gloves, and NEW Socks only.

THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

*We will collect until Monday, December 12^th

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