read all about the history of this event.....
Stephanie had been a Girl
Scout since the age of 5 and for several years prior to her death, she
and several members of her Girl Scout Troop adopted the residents of a
local Social Security Assisted Living Facility. These people are very
low-income residents with no assets, SS income only and most with little
or no family to assist them. They are just one step out of a state
nursing home. This housing is HUD housing.
Each year the Girl Scout troop would make small handmade gifts and put
them into gift bags with candy and tea bags. They would deliver them to
the approx 280 small efficiency units at each of the resident’s doors,
Christmas Caroling along the way while dropping the bags. The residents
would come out and come to the lobby and spend time with the girls.
Over the years many girls dropped out until there was only my daughter
and one other girl. After Stephanie’s death in 03, and with the last
girl going off to college my family decided to continue on with the
tradition in her memory. We bake homemade goodies for days prior,
delivering 40 dozen cookies/brownies etc to each of the two buildings
lobbies with a card on each door inviting them to come to the lobby to
enjoy the treats made in Stephanie’s memory. We repeated this in Dec of
04 also. Then in dec 05 , our third year after Stephanie’s death, my
second daughter Ashley asked her youth group of Calvary Chapel of Naples
if they would like to help make and deliver bags and also sing,so we
could start caroling again. The kids agreed and made 280 handmade cross
magnets for each gift bag and church members helped with the baking. It
was wonderful.
The youth pastor at the church committed to making this an annual event
with the youth , calling it the Stephanie Reeve Ministry Outreach. I
decided to start asking for donations to try to put together an awesome
gift bags that would really make a difference in their lives. We
continue to go there every year, below are the last few years videos
from this event.
