Thursday, December 3rd

At the home of: Mark and Salome Vance / 4313 Esherwood Lane
Each year, the Providence Arbours neighborhood comes together to support a charity during the holiday season. As in past years, the community has chosen to support the Thompson Child and Family Focus Home (formerly Thompson Children’s Home) located in nearby Matthews.
Click here for a list of children and their single parent with their “wish list” of needs and wants for the 2009 holiday season: Thompson Holiday Wish List 2009.
Please consider sponsoring a child this season or sharing the responsibility with friend. Economic timies are not what they have been in the past, but any contribution from anywhere is greatly appreciated (Target or Wal-Mart seem to work best for most families).
Everyone in the neighborhood (and their family) is invited to drop by Mark and Salome Vance’s home to enjoy light food and refreshments and bring their gift for our special kids and families at Thompson Child and Family Focus Home. Please mark your calendars now, bring your kids and family and an appetizer to share, and come spread some cheer and kick-off the holiday season for this wonderful cause!! Santa will be there too!!
“Pack the Sleigh” is an annual charitable event where the Providence Arbours community sponsors children (and helps to subsidize their needs for the upcoming year) from Thompson Child and Family Focus Home. This non-profit agency helps children who have been abused, neglected or who have disabilities. Originally started as an orphanage in 1886, Thompson’s has grown into a full family treatment/crisis center, as well as a facility for continuous care and housing for at-risk children.
