Local Missions
Recently, Memorial Park gave time and financial assistance to these causes:
Salvation Army:
A group did bell ringing for 8 hours at the Vestal Walmart, Saturday December 7, 2019 and the Youth Group braved the cold rain and rang the bell December 14, 2019. People from Memorial Park and Grace Lutheran church helped sort all the toys into age categories on December 18, 2020 so that the toys were ready to be delivered to the kids before Christmas. Many thanks to the volunteers! Both churches will continue joint activities to support the mission of the Salvation Army.
Mitten Tree to Support Clayton Ave Elementary
The mitten tree was filled to overflowing with mittens and hats (many cute homemade ones) and scarves and socks. These were given to the Clayton Avenue Elementary School in Vestal. Many thanks!
Christmas Cookies for First Responders
Fourteen enormous trays were filled with home-baked cookies and delivered to our area service providers including 4 fire departments, police, EMS, and others. They were received with many thanks. What a way to show our thanks and God’s love! Many thanks to all who baked and provided the cookies!
