Love In the Name of Christ Heartland

????Appreciation Post ???? The 2024 Christmas Store Brought Joy to 62 Families and 155 Children! The Christmas Store, a heartfelt ministry led by WestPointe Church in partnership with Love In the Name of Christ Heartland, provided an incredible opportunity for families in need. Through this initiative, families receiving assistance from Love INC Heartland were able to shop for gifts for their school-aged children—completely free of charge. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this possible: local businesses, residents of Delano and surrounding communities, and members of local churches. Your support made a real difference! Thanks to your generosity, toys, and joy were shared with 62 families and 155 children in the Love In the Name of Christ Heartland service area. Thank you for sharing the spirit of love and kindness this Christmas season! ???? #loveincheartland #loveinthenameofchrist #helpingchurcheshelppeople #christmasjoy #makingadifference #love #kindness
