This November and December you have several opportunities to partner with incredible organizations to extend generosity to those in Arizona as well as around the world. Read below to learn more about each opportunity.
Angel Tree
Mountain Park has been partnering with Angel Tree for over a decade, bringing gifts to hundreds of children who have a mom or dad currently in prison. Angel Tree offers us the opportunity to provide gifts for these children on behalf of their incarcerated parents. It is the perfect opportunity to help a child strengthen their relationship with their parent.
On November 18, 25 and December 2 you can pick up an Angel Tree gift tag from the Mountain Park lobby. Please return your purchased gifts to Mountain Park by December 16. In addition, you can also volunteer to deliver gifts (the best part of Angel Tree) by Christmas Eve.

Operation Christmas Child
Join Samaritan's Purse in the pursuit of reaching impoverished children all over the world with the Gospel of Jesus through a simple shoe box. Though it is just a shoe box filled with gifts, when a child opens up one of these gifts it becomes so much more. It becomes a simple yet powerful message of God's unconditional love and brings life-changing opportunities for the child as well as the entire community.
On October 21, 28 and November 4 you can visit the Shoe Box table at Mountain Park to learn more about how you can contribute to this worthwhile cause. Return your shoe box/es on November 11 & 18 just outside the lobby. Our hope is to collect more than 400 boxes this year to reach 400 children!

Thanksgiving Food Drive
Mountain Park has a strong history of working with local organizations to bring meals to families who otherwise would have nothing. This year we continue to work with Phoenix Rescue Mission to provide Thanksgiving Dinner to families from our local communities.
October 21, November 4 & 11 you can visit the table in the lobby to pick up a list of items needed to complete each meal as well as a box on November 4 in which to place the items. Return your filled food box by November 18 to ensure that it makes it to a family for Thanksgiving.
This is a very simple, yet incredibly tangible way to extend the love of Christ during one of our country's most beloved holidays.
