Snow Service

Students made 45 Christmas stockings for our kids! They will be filled with small toys, candy and hygiene items that have been donated by several generous supporters of PFP. Ellie Cox will deliver them to the children on Christmas day! Stay tuned for pictures next month.

Thank you Snow Service!

Christmas with PFP

Several board members will be spending Christmas with these cute kids and 31 others. Heidi, Tomasz, and Brandi have already arrived. Monika will arrive in a few days and Ellie will be joining them mid-December. It will be a Christmas to remember!

 




Buy a Brick!



This holiday season, in lieu of gifts for family and friends we would like to offer the opportunity to donate to Peace for Paul in your loved one's name. With your purchase of a "brick" we will honor the gift recipient with a certificate in their name and a beautiful handmade Ugandan batik (cloth painting) or necklace.

Your contribution will help us to build a multi-use facility with a kitchen, mess hall, toilets, showers, a library and volunteer quarters. It will also allow us to bring ten more children into our home and family!

Around the World Raffle


We're starting our annual raffle in December! Purchase a raffle ticket for $20 for your chance to win two tickets to anywhere in the world! Contact any of the board members if you are interested in purchasing a ticket for Christmas. A link for tickets will be up on the website in January and the lucky winner will find out who he/she is in March! Last year's winner won two tickets to Thailand!
