Ladies of all ages – you are invited to our Women’s Christmas Breakfast.

This year we will again support Women At Risk, International (WAR) whose mission is to market and sell handcrafted items made by at-risk and rescued men and women from around the world. We will offer WAR's pop-up boutique [visit their website at www.warinternational.org to read about who they are and what they do.]
We will add another vendor, Timbali Crafts. Timbali women are volunteer cooks at Care Points, community-based feeding centers throughout Swaziland, Africa, a nation with the highest HIV/AIDS rate, and one of the lowest life expectancy rates in the world. In spite of their own hardships, these women help feed more than 3000 children each day.
Cost $15 per lady; proceeds benefit WAR and Care Points outreach ministries.
Come celebrate the birth of King Jesus and "Shop with a Purpose" before and after the event to support these amazing ministries. Hope to see you there!
