Recently, the volunteers helped the children make gingerbread houses. To continue the success of Mom's House, participating mothers are required to contribute two hours of service themselves per week, according to Lisa. When you see some teens at Park City Mall this year, they may not be shopping for their friends. The rolls of paper and supplies used at the booth are donated by local merchants and companies in order to bring in more profits for the charity. Manheim Township senior Megan Morrison, one of the booth's volunteers, finds the experience extremely rewarding.
Some teens find other ways of donating to charitable organizations.
Shannon Bradley, a Lampeter Strasburg senior, and other employees of Village Greens Golf Course in Strasburg donated the tips they had received from customers instead of splitting it among the employees. If we divided up the money, we would each get a little of it, but by giving it to these families we all got something a lot more important than a few dollars. We knew we were helping to make someone's Christmas a little happier. All Rights Reserved.
