Adopt-A-Family for Christmas

During Christmas, The Stewpot hosts families from our Saturday School program who need additional assistance during the holidays. We are currently serving approximately 110 children in Saturday School. For the most part, these children's families are working poor and their parents struggle to provide financially for them. The need is particularly acute at Christmas time.

In an effort to spread joy and festivity at this special time of year, The Stewpot has had an Adopt a Family Program to give others an opportunity to assist these families during the Christmas season.

We hope to provide each qualifying family with a Target gift card. This will give the parents the opportunity to decide what their children receive for Christmas and to experience the joy of shopping for their children.

Please send donations to: The Stewpot, c/o Suzanne Dwight, 408 Park Avenue, Dallas, TX 75201 or donate by credit card. Designate Adopt-A-Family on your check or credit card donation. For more information contact Suzanne Dwight, Director of Children & Youth Programs at (214) 746-2785 ext. 238.

Stewpot Community Ministry Scholarship recipients recognized for their hard work

42 college students from The Stewpot's Children and Youth programs were recognized for the Community Ministries Scholarship this past Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church worship service. Two recipients have graduated in the last few months from college and we are expecting 12 more to graduate in the coming year. Many of them are the first people in their families to attend college!

Each scholarship recipient must actively participate in The Stewpot's Children and Youth programs for a minimum of 2 years and then if they maintain their grades they are eligible for $2,000 a year for up to five years!

Congrats to all of them!
