Children's Home Christmas Gift Card Drive

November 1 - 25, 2024

Christmas will be here before we know it. There are lots of wonderful organizations that benefit children during the holidays. We have focused our efforts on the Residing Hope, which we give to all year. Residing Hope (Previously The United Methodist Children's Home) is set up with house parents. Each child is usually with their house parent the entire time they are at their home. Can you think of a better person to purchase Christmas gifts for the children? They are asking for any gift cards from the locations listed below.


Helpful Hints from Residing Hope:

–We also ask that the gift card denomination be written on the gift card.

–Please include a receipt with each gift card to help with processing.



You can give $5 or $500. It makes it so easy for anyone to participate. Please include a gift card receipt taped to the card, along with the amount written on the physical card. We must have them to the Children's Home before December 5th, so the Gift Cards must be in the church office by November 25th. Look for the Christmas Trees in the entryways beginning November 3rd, and pick an ornament (or 2) of the tree. A collection box will also be set up in the Sanctuary starting November 10th.
