Christmas spirit was in full swing last night as Cape Ann families gathered in a donated space (thanks Gloucester Fraternity Club) to wrap gifts and assemble 40 gift bags for our local shelter guests. Thanks to donations of toiletries, candy, DD gift cards and money for socks and underwear, each Action Shelter guest will have 15 little gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning. And the kids made snowflake cards for each shelter guest. Thank you to all who supported this effort. You added something special for this holiday to those who need it the most. YOU ARE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT! – I’m already looking forward to doing this with all of them next year, they are an awesome group!)
