Christmas Presents for Children

Parkside Church desires to share the joy of Christmas with families in need who live in the Cleveland area, and our surrounding community, by purchasing essentials and Christmas gifts for children in these families. If you would like to join us, please place your check in the offering plate with “Christmas Benevolence Project” on the memo line. We will do the shopping!
