:: Special Christmas Giving Opportunities ::
Thailand Christmas Benefit ::
Join us December 6 for a special PBC Christmas party to help Roy and Bonita Thompson in Bangkok pay the bar fines for young women to attend their own Christmas party. The cost for each woman is $20.
Green Pastures House Remodel ::
Green Pastures is a state-licensed non-profit Christian group home in Mountain View where six disabled children live on a long-term basis. Some of the children have attended PBC over the years and many folks have volunteered at the GP home. The current house needs a complete remodel, so YAF as a group would like to help out financially in this endeavor. We will collect donantions at the YAF Christmas party on December 20 and sign a card together.
