What we do: 

We provide families with the opportunity to “shop” in our Christmas store.  They use points to shop and are able to get items for themselves and their family for Christmas.  We have household items, clothes and toys.  They also receive hygiene products, a food gift card and stocking stuffer items.  

Who we Help:

In 2022 we served 870 people 

• We help families who have accessed our services throughout the year such as:  Home Repair, Emergency Assistance & Career Readiness. 

• Other organizations:  Women’s Drug Rehab, a non-profit who serves adults with special needs & chronically homeless people, Fire Departments, Nursing Homes and pre-school classes.

   

 What they do to be a part of the program: 

• Year one – no requirements 

• Year two – participate in 8 out of 11 classes offered at the mission  

• Year three – volunteer at the mission for 12 hours 

• Year four – take our 12-lesson Faith and Finances Course 

 Why we do it this way: 

If they are doing things to earn these gifts, then they are the ones providing gifts for their children and they get the joy of giving to their families.  This preserves their dignity and helps them to be able to provide.
