For over a decade, our church family’s generosity has helped provide Christmas toys and gifts for children in our community. This year, we’re excited to continue that tradition through our partnerships with Hope4 Centerville and Hope4 Kettering, allowing us to reach even more families.
Together with other local churches, we’re expanding the Christmas Store and extending shopping hours to serve more families. Each child will receive three Christmas gifts, a jacket, socks, underwear, and a family Bible. The store will be open Dec. 1–5 and Dec. 8–12.
Each participating church and organization is contributing in different ways, with Fairhaven focusing on providing toys and gifts.
And you can be part of it! There are three ways you can help make Christmas special for families in our community:
To participate, register to purchase gifts. Choose how many $25 gifts you’d like to purchase, then select an age and whether you’d like to shop for a boy or girl. Purchase new $25 gifts/toys. No used items. Please do not purchase Bibles, as our partners are providing these. Toys and Walmart $25 gifts cards are encouraged.
Every gift you choose helps a parent experience the joy of giving something special to their child. Each year we serve approximately 1,000 children, so every gift you donate makes a big impact on the inventory we can provide at the store.
