Dear Norwalk Families,

The holidays are fast approaching, a time we look forward to celebrating with family and friends. This year has been challenging and in many ways has helped us to appreciate what we do have. For many of us it is a time to show caring for others through the spirit of giving. For many years, Norwalk students, families, churches and businesses have had the opportunity to help those that may be experiencing difficult times through our annual holiday service project, The Warrior Giving Project. We are pleased to again partner with the Norwalk Community School District in coordinating this project.

The goal of The Warrior Giving Project is to help Norwalk families meet basic needs. It is also our hope that we can help to relieve a bit of the worry and stress that families experience during difficult financial times by helping to provide necessity and gift items for each child.

If your family would like to participate in this optional service project by donating or volunteering, please contact Crystal Ellis, the Norwalk Area Ministerial Association(NAMA) coordinator listed below. Donations will be collected on Sunday, December 10th to be distributed to families prior to winter break.

TO DONATE: –Watch for notifications from classroom teachers about any special projects.

                   – If you would like to provide gifts for a child or family, contact Crystal Ellis (515) 474-1427

NAMA has an online wish list available if anyone would like to purchase a gift for a Norwalk family this year.  There is a variety of gifts and price points that are still not filled. Have fun looking!  https://signup.com/go/zSVVLNv
