They are giving gifts away at the Old Capital Hill School, on Dec. 20 and 21 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. They will need their food stamp card or proof of income and the children's social security card in order to receive the toys. |

Appalachian Relief Fund
Mary Patterson
Sevierville, TN |
--In the past year, Mary Patterson, RN, and Jo Stoffel have almost singlehandedly raised enough funds to purchase 2 tractor-trailer loads of food. She has bought toys and clothing, and gathered used clothing for hundreds….and sent it all to Scott County. She was recently told she would be given $100 -and she asked that it instead be sent to a student in Scott County that she heard was in need of special sized clothing. Mary will be coming with members of her church to the Winfield Baptist Church on December 19th! Mary is making a difference in our world. |
--The nominations are now ope |

Mission of Hope
Emmette Thompson
Executive Director |
--I cannot say enough about the people at Mission of Hope. Sending them a Wish List is like sending a letter to Santa. I look out the door and here they come with a truck load of donated goodies for the people of Scott County. We receive everything from refrigerators to springs and mattresses to computers and clothes. All for Scott County at no cost.
--From a recent Wish List, Emmette is providing the Boys & Girls Club 10 new guitars to further the music teaching program at the Club. If you recall, they asked the members if anyone would like to learn to play the guitar and 40 signed up. To date they have been able to collect about 12 guitars. Now 10 more kids may join the class. Thanks MOH!
--By the time this newsletter gets out, the Mission of Hope teams will have started going to all the Scott County elementary schools. Folks, I am not just saying they bring 2 toys per child-what I am saying is that they bring 2 NICE toys per child. The children are helped by an adult and taken though the line to pick both toys themselves. They even have additional stuffed toys for the kids to take home to their siblings. What a wonderful time it is watching this event unfold. |
