Would you like to make someone’s wish come true?

Glen Mar’s Wish Upon a Star ministry intends to assist about 30 local families and others over Christmas with clothes, food, toys, and gift cards, through the following organizations:
  • Salvation County of Howard County
  • Ames church in Baltimore
  • HopeWorks of Howard County
  • Everstand (formerly Board of Child Care)
  • Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center homeless shelter in Columbia
  • Steps of Hope in Guatemala.

Starting Sunday November 2, you can participate in three ways:

1. Go to the Wish Upon a Star gift and donation tables in the Gathering Place before or after worship services and: choose a gift (or gifts) that you would like to purchase; and/or give a monetary donation that will go to purchase gift cards and food baskets for the families. (This replaces the option of buying individual gift cards.)

2. Go online to sign up through SignUpGenius for: Toys/Other Gift Requests, Clothing Requests: Wish Upon a Star Sign Up

3. Donate online (credit card) using the “Give” button on the Glen Mar website. Please use the dropdown option to designate the donation for “Wish Up on a Star.”

We encourage you to sign up and donate through November 23 and return the gifts to Glen Mar by noon on November 30.

Given your generous support for Wish Upon a Star in the past, we look forward to working with you this year to make even more wishes come true. If you have any questions, please email us.
