On Monday, December 9, several members of Orangefield's Uprising Club spent the day sorting toys to help the Bridge City/Orangefield Ministerial Alliance. The students enjoy participating in this activity every year during Toy Week. It is a great opportunity for them to serve in their community.
The Bridge City-Orangefield Ministerial Alliance is a non-profit, faith-based organization that has been serving the local communities since 1998. It is a collaboration of 17 local churches. They are funded by the support of these member churches, amazing school and community support, and by grants.
Each Christmas season, the Ministerial Alliance provides clothing and shoes for children 0-12th Grade, and toys for Newborn - 5th Grade. Occasionally, they will also have items on-hand that will be gifted if a family experiences an emergency. The toys and gifts are received from member churches, Christmas in July through those churches, float entry “fees” from the Bridge City Christmas Parade, the Orangefield Secret Santa Program, local businesses, various community organizations and individuals, and fundraisers held throughout the year. Shoes for the high school-aged children are generally provided by the Ministerial Alliance, or donors on their behalf. Clothing (for all ages) and shoes for the younger children (0-5th Grade) are provided by the churches/church members who participate in their annual Angel Tree Program. The Ministerial Alliance credits the success of this program to the amazing support and hard work that they receive from the generous support listed above, their toy chairmen and their teams, and the involvement from the local churches and schools. Toy Week simply would not be possible without all of these working parts.
