For the past six years, the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center has sponsored a display of Nativities from around the world. Each year, families, collectors, and local artisans gather and display the many ways the birth of Christ is depicted in holiday decorations from around the world. Over 100 Nativities are displayed on loan each year, and while the display does not charge admission, a donation to the Food Bank is requested and a sizable sum is raised.
Can you help us raise money for this local charity? We are looking for additional Nativities to display this year. If you own a Nativity, whether it is traditional or whimsical, antique or contemporary, we would love to borrow it for a few days to add it to our display. The exhibit will be held November 26 and 27, at the Desert Foothills Library, 38443 N. Schoolhouse Rd. If you would like to share your Nativity or collection with the community at that time, contact Karen Pritchard, 480-488-0423, [email protected], Janet Mueller, 480-488-6156, [email protected] or Karen Franevsky 480-488-1101 [email protected].
