"This year the community has the opportunity to provide gifts for our Presence of Love Store, (formerly the Christmas Store) where income qualified families 'shop' for free presents for each of their family members," reports Lorraine Minor, Associate Executive Director of Programs and Administration.

Bring unwrapped gifts and monetary donations to the City Union Mission Family Center, located at 1310 Wabash St., Kansas City, MO. on December 2nd between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Books, including God’s Human Sparrows, City Union Mission’s beautiful coffee table book, as well as Plaza Lights Christmas cards will be available for purchase. All proceeds will benefit the poor and homeless through the work of City Union Mission.

A list of the most needed gift items as well as cost for those who prefer to donate funds instead can be found here.

Be sure to visit the Family Center which will also be open for tours and refreshments.
