UKV's Christmas Community Outreach

We are collecting WRAPPED gifts for the children currently staying at the Sojourners' Shelter.  They currently have 25 children staying there ranging from a newborn baby to a 17 year old.  Sunday, December 23rd will be the last day that we accepted the gifts which will be delivered to the shelter right after the Sunday service.

UKV is also accepting donations for Heifer International.  This organization feeds the needy all over the world.  Depending on many donations that UKV receives, we can donate some animals to families around the world.  They promise that the first born animal from their gifted animal goes to a neighbor and soon the village learns how to provide for themselves.  So far, we have collected $220.  For another $30, a family can receive a water buffalo. With some more donations, we can donate for example - $20 = a flock of chicks, $30= honey bees for a farm in Kentucky, a goat = $120, 3 bunnies = $60, etc.



I would like to thank everyone for your generous donations to date.  We have several gifts under the tree for the Sojourner children, some money to the Heifer International, and some donations to the victims of the house fire of Jack's wife, Andrea's co-worker.  Your generosity is so very appreciated.


You are a blessing!  Have a great week!
