The program, which lasts three consecutive weeks in August, will deliver the following activities and materials to twenty Stepping Stones students:

• A free tambourine plus care and activity materials for each child

Ringing the Bells with Joy at Muskegon Rescue Mission!

The Gift of Music visited the Muskegon Rescue Mission on December 21st for a fun hour of bell ringing, carol singing, and Christmas story reading!

The group that participated were children of residents at Muskegon Rescue Mission, which has served individuals and families in need in the Muskegon Area with clothes, food, shelter and other services since 1907.

Early on Monday morning, Miss Chantal arrived with a bag full of jingle bells, stringed instruments and other fun musical goodies. The children enjoyed dancing with scarves, learning about different types of bells, and singing along to popular Christmas carols.  

At the end of class, each child received a Velcro jingle bell bracelet to keep! Program planning, travel, staff expenses and the cost of instruments are all a part of the C-Fund's Gift of Music Program. Any gift--whether big or small--makes a huge difference to our funding and directly impacts the lives of children in our area who are in need.

You can support wonderful programs like the C-Fund's Gift of Music program by making a cash or check donation to our 501(c)3 profit. Donations made before January 1st will be deductible for the 2015 tax year!

With the hundreds of high quality books we had left over after the event, we were able to donate to other great programs such as Grand Haven Head Start and Holland Rescue Mission.

The Gift of Music Continues!

Our high quality, free early childhood music classes are continuing this year as planned! "Sing and Slide" (a fun multi-class session that includes a free gift of a slide whistle and companion materials) has been traveling to Grand Haven Head Start to target the students who attend there. The children are enjoying every moment of the fun singing, dancing and movement that is included for them in each week's lesson! This summer Miss Chantal will also be traveling back to Stepping Stones daycare in Holland to teach free classes. Stepping Stones is program of the Holland Rescue Mission, and a childcare center supporting the homeless and transient of Holland, Michigan.
