The Gems Girls Club and the CIA Boys Club are grateful for the community service project volunteers who made the Christmas Dinner last week so special.    There were over thirty various volunteers that came in and helped to prepare for the event,  as well as service and delivery on the evening of the dinner.   We also received many donations of hats, scarves, and gloves from many of you.   These items were packed in gift bags along with a few other supplies.   The Hayward Navigation Center appreciated our reaching out to their residents during this Christmas time. (The Navigation Center helps address the City’s homelessness crisis.  They provide transitional housing for a stay up to 6 months and graduate approximately seven individuals a month into permanent housing. )    Because of all of you,  God’s love,  hope, and joy were a part of this special evening for all of these residents.   Approximately 35  attended the dinner service in the social hall and forty meals and gifts were delivered to the Navigation Center’s two local facilities in Hayward.  Thank you for your sharing your precious time in serving our community.
