Christmas Card Project

1/12/2016

 

Thank you, Christmas Card Project!
Sharing holiday cheer, love and peace.

​This Christmas, Christa Fisher, the interim chaplain for the Dane County Jail, inspired us ​to send Christmas Cards to those in prison.   She writes...
"Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by your generosity! And the men and women were touched by your kindness. As I passed out supplies, I felt a bit like St Nicholas, filling stockings with Christmas cheer.
​

Christmas in jail can be an exceptionally lonely time. Many people feel forgotten and disposable around the holidays. Despite the reality of their situations, they were able to experience a bit of the joy and peace which defines Christmas. As I passed out the cards, the men were excited but confused. 'Is this from you?' and 'Do you want me to give this to someone else?' were the questions I most often heard. 'It’s for you,'  I would say. 'Someone whom you don’t know wrote it for you.'  They would look at me curiously, to which I would reply, 'You are not forgotten. There are hundreds of people in our community who are thinking of you, praying for you and working to make this a more just system. This card is from them. Merry Christmas.' "
Through MUCC and other organizations' support the jail ministry received:
1670 Christmas Cards!
75 Scarves
98 Winter Coats
100 stamps or stamped envelopes
122 Pairs of Gloves
150 Hats
