Children Blessed (and Bless) through Shopping Spree

Sanctuary on 8th Street treated over 50 kids to its Annual Holiday Shopping Experience at Target on Dec. 13. Each child was given a budget of $100 and a chaperone to guide them through the store. Beyond the excitement of choosing gifts, the experience served as a valuable opportunity for the youth to work on math and decision-making skills. Some of the children truly embraced the spirit of the season, exhibiting selflessness through their choice to buy more gifts for others than for themselves.
