Tons of Love
0 Posted: December 9th, 2011We invite you to be a part of something awesome this Christmas season! It is called Toneladas (tons) de amor (of love). Through Tons of Love, the poor in the high, mountainous regions around Arequipa will jump for joy as they receive food, clothing, and toys this Christmas.
Our home church here in Arequipa, Peru collects donations of clothing, non perishable food items, basic housewares, and toys throughout the month of December and on Christmas day, we all travel together to the shanty towns on the outskirts of the city, high up in the mountains and distribute these gifts. This year, MCMINTL is participating!
Children receive bikes for the first time! Mothers walk away with bags of rice, beans, and potatoes with which to feed their families. We come together to live out the love and compassion of Christ. This year our goal is over 250,000 pounds (120 metric tons) of donations!

Please be a part! Mark your donations for ‘Tons of Love’ and you can join us in bringing Christmas gifts to those who would otherwise have none.
