The holidays are a busy time for members at the Gilford Community Church (GCC), which impacts hundreds of kids and families through several community-based initiatives, beginning with the distribution of Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Bags.
We handed out close to 60 bags to area families,” said Pastor Michael Graham, who noted GCC is now “fully engaged” in its Angel Christmas Program.
“This program services 800 children with requests for pajamas, socks, underwear and outerwear and hygiene items,” he added.

Jessica Fleck of GCC’s Outreach Committee said the church has also “adopted” several families in the community. “We offer a helping hand to those who need it – anything we can do to help others have a Merry Christmas for their children,” she said.
For Graham, the holidays – regardless of one’s religious beliefs – are a time to gather together. “This is a time of year that, I hope, can bring all of us together,” he said. “We are people, and everyone deserves care and compassion.”
