The resourceful folks at Current of Tampa Bay, known for their Best of the Bay-winning Laundry Project, have organized another event aimed at helping low-income families, and this one's right in keeping with the season. The second annual Affordable Christmas offers families invited or referred by several faith-based organizations to shop for children's gifts at one-tenth the retail cost. The discount shopping spree takes place today from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Crossover Church, located at 1235 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa.
Donations can still be dropped off at the church today. Requested items include new or unused bicycles, sports toys and equipment, skateboards, scooters, video games, movies, dolls, action figures, arts and crafts and more. All gifts are intended for children and teens 0-14 years old. To see the full list of items, go to christmasbycurrent.org.
Volunteers are also welcome. For more information, contact Jason Sowell at Jason@engagethecurrent.org or at 727-537-9082.
