First Congregational Church in Stoneham

Holiday Season 2024 Greetings!

The Salvation Army Toy Drive has been a beloved tradition for many years for Stoneham Families.

We have 60+ children in Stoneham who we'd like to help this year. Hardship and difficulties in our society today are a burden for these families to survive even to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. They all deserve joy this Christmas for their children. We try to provide each child 4 toys, pajamas, and an outfit. Some even need winter coats and boots.

We are continuing to make a wish list on Amazon again this year. The gifts are set to ship to the First Congregational Church in Stoneham when you place your order on the list. This is where our workshop is located. We have also partnered with our local independent book store The Book Oasis again in Stoneham.

We hope you consider giving. This is a massive undertaking that Lorraine Savage has been doing for 18 years. The sense of community coming together as volunteers and donors is truly a blessing for our town.

Thank you kindly for your help!

Happy Wednesday everyone! We are finally feeling the spring (or summer) weather! As you are doing some spring cleaning, please be on the look out for plastic bags with handles and re-usable bags with handles. The First Church Stoneham Food Pantry is in need of these kinds of bags. Thank you! 🌷
