It was a secret that Grace did her best to keep to herself, but having been familiar with being cast out with nothing but a mild sense of pride, she was eager to offer some assistance as she could. Donating several warm and toasty sleeping bags, the Valkyrie hoped whoever would need them would enjoy the various colors and patterns!

Jon really had too many clothes. Designers were constantly sending things his way, asking him to wear this or that to promote their brand, or hiring him to do a photo shoot. He had literally closets full of brand new clothes at Maple Grove. How many designer outfits did one man need anyway?

He and Vicki tried to go through them every now and then and donate what he didn't need or hadn't had a chance to wear, and the holidays seemed like the perfect time of year to do just that.

So, he'd put his assistant, Sol, to work gathering up some winter coats and sweaters and things to donate to the Alchemist's Fire in hopes they'd find a good home ...

Annabeth donated thermal and non-thermal underwear in various sizes for both genders, hand knitted scarves and sweaters again in various sizes, three quilts her mother made before she died, 4 other multi-colored afghan blankets, 10 loaves of homemade bread, assorted canned veggies including several cans of chow chow, three twenty-five pound bags each of pinto and cranberry beans, several large sacks of hickory and walnuts, and 5 country cured hams. There was a check for $1000.

Included with the donation was a small note.

Sister Annabeth told us that you were taking up donations for those without during the holiday season. We all chipped in and was able to get this together for y'all. We're sorry it's a mite on the smallish side, but don't worry, we'll have more time to get something proper for y'ins next year.

Merry Christmas and God Bless,
Congregation of Ephesus Hills Independent Baptist Church.

WHAM! 101.1FM was crazy enough to give Yas several hundred dollars to go buys hats and scarves for the needy to donate to The Alchemist's Fire. It was not their wisest business move.

Yas brought several hundred dollars worth of the craziest hats and scarves you have ever seen...

Maggie, several of the young members of her family, and some students of Harker's Academy had put their heads together to find an appropriate donation for Hope for Paws Animal Shelter.

A note was sent:

Please let the Hope for Paws Animal Shelter Manager know that Harker's Academy will sponsor any veterinary fees for animals in the shelter from now until the end of 2016. Animals adopted during that year will also be eligible for free care through that funding. Should this cause any problems for the in house vet, details have been provided for a back up care giver.

Josette and her brother Isaac showed up with boxes and baskets full of various canned, organic goods as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, jars of jam, nutella and homemade confiture de ch?taigne as a seasonal treat.

Everyone should have access to a good meal and a warm, safe place to rest their head. In addition to the food, there were pillows and warm blankets as well as large tubs of dog food and dog treats for all canine friends in need!

They both requested that the raffle tickets and gift baskets be given to those in need.

With coats, scarves, gloves and boots seeming to be covered in the donation bins, Belle went out and picked out men's, women's and children's sized thermals and socks to go with the winter weather attire. Throwing in some patterns with the solid colors, because she thought it was always fun to have a little something unique and special.
