We have identified 10 faith based organizations to receive a minimum donation of $100 to help feed one or more families for Christmas.

Memo: XL Feed a Family Donation
Pacific Garden Mission - An annual tradition
While it is inadvisable to go to the building given the state-wide stay at home order, we have determined a way we can still give the PGM what it needs to serve their residents.
95% of the residents and staff of have contracted COVID and are battling it daily. Therefore, they have asked that we provide the following list of items to support the residents.
They are in need of the following:
- Face masks
- Shower shoes
- Cough Drops
- Mens and womens’ underwear (new)
- Winter Coats (men, women and children)
- Body Wash (must be in sizes 10 oz. or larger)
- Mens’ Blue Jeans
- Womens’ toiletry items
- Financial Support
We have created an Amazon wish list account that can be found here. When you click on the link, a list of items will be populated on the webpage pointing to a donation to the Pacific Garden Mission c/o Alpha Phi Alpha – XL. Here you can choose any items you would like on the list. The sizes should vary and please choose as much as you are willing to purchase as the mission has well over 300 residents per day. The giving campaign until the end of the holiday season ending January 4th 2021.
