  • Christmas Exchange

    Every year, we take names for registration for families who need help purchasing food for Christmas dinner. We gift them with a supermarket gift card to help cover the cost. Last year in 2024, we helped 754 households, including 1,357 adults and 1,116 children.

  • Encouragement Gifts

    Every Christmas, we give a small encouragement gift to individuals who have had a challenging year. In 2024, we gave encouragement gifts to 75 people.

  • Mitten Tree

    Every Christmas, we collect warm hats, mittens, gloves, socks, scarves etc. They can be placed on the tree in the foyer.

  • Gifts for Teens & Young Adults

    Every Christmas, gift cards are given to youth and young adults who are supported by our community outreach ministry. Your support helps us do that. Last year, we gave gift cards to 49 youth and young adults.
