Memorial Tabernacle Church – EOC Christmas Outreach w/ the OUSD McKinney-Vento Program

Memorial Tabernacle Church 5801 Racine Street, Oakland, CA, United States

In partnership with the OUSD McKinney-Vento Program, MTC's Embracing Our Community desires to be a blessing to families-in-need this Christmas season. OUSD Transitional Families / McKinney-Vento Liaisons work with the neediest children and their families to provide items of greatest need. These children live in cars, shelters or with other family members without a space to call their own. Our goal is to simply provide a bit of extra joy during the holiday season and take some of the pressure off of mom and/or dad. All donations listed below are needed by Sunday, December 17, 2017! Several opportunities to drop-off your donation: Sun, Dec 10 12:30-2:00PM Tues, Dec 12 & Wed, Dec 13 5:00-8:00PM Sat, Dec 16 12:00-3:00PM Sun, Dec 17 2:30-5:00PM It is the plan for this partnership to extend beyond the 2017 Christmas season. Join us and be a part as we aim to impact lives with love!
