CHRISTMAS
SEND-A-CARD
PROGRAM
the Christmas season can be
one of the most difficult times of
the year for those in prison. for
these men and women, alone
and far from home, it often
provokes depression rather than
joy. By sending every CBi
student a card, Crossroad's
Send-a-Card program offers
them the hope of Christ at
Christmas.
