Throughout the year, FBCD asks members and the community to bring new, unwrapped toy and stocking stuffers, wrapping paper, and non-perishable food in preparation for three community shopping days, when registered friends from the community can shop in our store of toys for their children. Registration will begin November 12, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM. Additional registration days will be November 13, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM and November 14, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. Shopping days wil be December 4, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM and December 5, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM.

Elves’ Shelves began in 2007 as the means of serving Denton families in need. The Lord saw fit to expand the ministry, which we estimated would reach a couple dozen families, to impact over 550 families. Providing toys and groceries for over 1700 kids (which equals more than 4,870 toys)!

It’s through prayer, generous donations, and the hard work for many volunteers to make Elves’ Shelves possible each year.

If you would like to be a part of Elves’ Shelves in 2009 contact Brad Cockrell, bradc@firstdenton.org for more information.
