PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) It looked like Santa s workshop at Chosen 300 Ministries in West Philadelphia on Christmas Eve. What s really important is reaching out to those in need that are struggling, and this year, they re struggling more than ever, Chosen 300 founder Brian Jenkins said.
Volunteers wrapped toys all day to hand out on Christmas for parents who preregistered.
Given the pandemic, the need is up but donations are down. A lot of people have been scared to come out of the house, Jenkins added.
Those with Covenant Community Church in the neighborhood donated $1,000 and also came to help wrap. This is a great chance to show the love of Christ through a gift, through food, through the physical provisions, Pastor Bill Rodebaugh said.
