On December 20th, Trinity Motorcycle Ministry, in conjunction with Community Compass, distributed 530 toys to 194 families, along with 500 coats and 40 food baskets. People walking into the Grace and Peace facility were overwhelmed by the kindness and love shown to them by the more than 30 volunteers who helped that day; some were brought to tears. Needs were met far beyond what they ever imagined. For some, unforgettable Christmas memories were made that day.

Thirty businesses and government offices helped make this endeavor a success. Some provided storage, vehicles and finances; others were collection sites for coats. Most of those listed below helped advertise by posting “Making Christmas Memories” flyers at their facilities.

All were thankful to be part of this special day and look forward to partnering with us again:
