Gift of Christmas

Our 15th annual Gift of Christmas will be held on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 from 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM. We are estimating that 100 guests (men, women, and children) plus 60 volunteers will participate in this event as we partner with the following agencies:

  • The Family Living Center Homeless Shelter
  • Canton YWCA
  • Refuge of Hope Ministries

 

Our desire is to extend God’s goodness to each person as they experience the demonstration of His love in a tangible way. An overview of the GOC activities includes:

  • Participants will be given a packed lunch and transported to area retailers where they will shop for personal needs and family Christmas gifts using donated funds.
  • Activities will continue after participants are transported to Frontline Worship Center at 6200 Wales Avenue NW, Massillon, OH (Jackson Township).
  • An afternoon snack is provided while the participants play games, wrap the purchased gifts, and choose articles from donated clothing.
  • Children participate in interactive classes where they learn the true meaning of Christmas.
  • A gift bag is provided for each participant.
  • A sit-down holiday dinner with all the trimmings will be served to all.
  • A Christmas presentation will include drama, dance, worship, and an inspirational message of hope.

 

If you can offer any assistance with food for the packed lunch, afternoon snacks, or the sit down dinner, please feel free to contact us at 330-837-8399. We are also accepting donations for disposable service ware, drinks, perishable food, non-perishable food, and ready-made food.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to facilitate this endeavor. If you would like to financially contribute, you can donate online here. Click Donate Now under General Fund and add Gift of Christmas as a designation.
