First Choice contributes to Christian Center

Again this year, First Choice America Credit Union is the primary sponsor for funding the Christmas service programs of the Weirton Christian Center in Weirton. Children will be distributing fruit baskets and bookmarks to residents of the Serra Village Retirement Community, and the “Signs of Hope” children rode on a float in the Nov. 28 Weirton Christmas Parade, then participated in the holiday show at the Weirton Millsop Community Center.

The Weirton Christian Center has 120 children on its roster. The United Way agency was founded in 1917 on Avenue D in North Weirton. -- Contributed
