Red Tubs with mfcc
Memphis Family Connection Center is having a Red Tub Day, which meets the holiday desires of children in foster care in Memphis and supports therapeutic healing all year long. There are two ways you can give:
- Fill a red tub to the brim with $250 worth of gifts from your assigned child's wish list ($125 goes towards filling a red tub with requested gifts for an individual child. The second $125 supports Memphis Family Connection Center which provides access to high-quality, integrated therapeutic services for Memphis area families throughout the year.)
- Make a $250 donation to Memphis Family Connection Center (MFCC).
If interested, please contact Jennifer Thompson to be assigned a child's wish list or sign up below. Red Tubs will be available for pick up in the Connector the next two Sundays (11/24 and 12/1). Jennifer Thompson will be at the welcome table to pass them out. You will turn them in on December 8 at White Station Church of Christ.
