We are excited to continue our partnership with a group of other local churches and organizations called “Hope 4 Centerville” and “Hope 4 Kettering” to create a Christmas store that’s better than ever! Through these partnerships, we’ll be able to keep the store open longer, have more items in stock, and support more local families. The store will be open December 3-14.
Each participating organization is making a different contribution, and Fairhaven’s commitment is to provide toys and gifts.
There are two ways you can participate: purchasing gifts and serving at the store.
Purchasing Gifts
Please purchase gifts according to the instructions below. Gifts can be dropped off at the Centerville Campus until December 1.
To participate, log into your Fairhaven account and register to purchase gifts for a child. When you register, you can choose the age and whether to shop for a boy or girl. This will help ensure that we have a wide variety of toys and gifts for kids of all ages.
Purchase three new $25 gifts/toys. No used items. Please no clothing or Bibles, as our partners are providing these. Toys and gifts are encouraged, but you can substitute one $25 gift card to Walmart or Amazon for one of the gifts.
To make this experience more meaningful, we suggest visiting a local store and purchasing your gifts together with family and friends. You can also order toys online and ship them to the Centerville Campus, but please mark them as “Christmas Gift – Centerville” 637 E. Whipp Road, Centerville, OH 45459

Serving Opportunities
Another great way to get involved is by helping out with the Christmas Store. You can help with organization and setup or with store operations during open hours.
