MCCF Chaplaincy Christmas Gift Bag Program
November 19 – December 10
Want to bring tidings of comfort and joy to a group that is often forgotten? Join PCM in caring for individuals in the Morris County Correctional Facility (MCCF) through the Chaplaincy Program. By purchasing items from the following list, you can provide warmth, support, comfort, and most importantly, an understanding that we are all children of God. No one is forgotten.
The Chaplaincy Program of the Morris County Correctional Facility is a nonprofit organization that PCM has sponsored for many years. They supply a Christmas Gift Bag for each inmate that includes basic necessities such as underwear and toiletries. The gift bags are deeply appreciated by the inmates. For many, it is their only contact with the outside world during the holiday season.
We invite you to offer comfort to those in prison this holiday season by purchasing and donating the following items for Christmas Gift Bags for each of the inmates. Please donate ONLY these specific items which have been approved by jail security. No gift wrap – just plain, all-white clothing items in original packages!
-
Men’s white crew neck t-shirts (large, XL, 2X, 3X) (NO pockets or V-neck style)
-
Men’s white briefs (medium, large, 2X, 3X)

Items can be dropped off in marked bins at the Parish House Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm, or at Sunday service.
We encourage you to take a moment to pray before dropping off your donations. Pray for the inmates, their families, the Chaplain, and the Correction Officers, that they might all feel God’s peace and love this holiday season.
