Christmas Workshop 2014…

This year’s theme for our Christmas Workshop was “Get a little. Give a lot.”. The teens started out the day with “Get a little” by decorating their Gingerbread House with a vast array of assorted candies. Each house was very unique and three of the teens won a gift card for their design. Later in the evening, teens did a White Elephant gift exchange and it was hilarious to see some of the gifts they opened!

The teens had opportunities to “Give a lot.” as they made fresh evergreen swags to give to their mothers or family member, baked and packaged cookies, and filled jars with dry soup ingredients to be given out in food baskets throughout the community. The grumbles of disinterest soon gave way to teens wanting to make more.

The Sunday following the workshop, PVYC teens joined Penns Valley Community Church to fill baskets with donated food items and the cookies and soup jars they had put together during the workshop. The  42 baskets were given out to families in our community, some of whom were families of our PVYC teens.
