LOVE BEYOND CHRISTMAS Image

LOVE BEYOND CHRISTMAS

Our neighbors often have needs beyond what we see on the surface, so we are called to love beyond - especially at Christmastime.

 

Our neighbors often have needs beyond what we see on the surface, so we are called to love beyond.

We must rally together to love our neighbors beyond their basic needs – we must love them enough to help them provide a celebratory Christmas for their families. As we strive to meet human needs without discrimination, we must also meet their basic needs by helping sustain programs and services for our neighbors in need all year.

Through our Christmas Cheer program, we help hundreds of lower-income families in our community provide gifts and a Christmas dinner celebration for their families – things that are often unattainable for those less fortunate in our communities.

We strive to provide a joyful Christmas to our children who don't understand financial hardships, and therefore don't understand why their situation looks different than that of those around them.

If you have relied on the generosity of others in the time of need, you likely understand the importance of hope – the hope of a brighter tomorrow, the hope that someone’s generosity will help you clothe and feed your family, the hope that others in your situation also receive the help they need. If you have not relied on the generosity of others, please count your blessings and continue looking within for the courage and strength to continue providing that hope to others. 

 


We have several programs that make a great impact on Christmas in our community.
A quick overview is included below, but please click on each program to learn more.


 Red Kettle

Red Kettles are placed around Fairfield County and can accept change, bills and electronic payment including Apple Pay & Google Pay. These kettles are often adopted by volunteer bell ringers, both individuals and corporate sponsors.
>> Find a Red Kettle location, volunteer or learn more 


 Angel Tree

Children's wish lists of toys, books and clothes are posted on tags at various locations throughout Fairfield County. Individuals, families and groups can select the child and purchase items from the tag for them to receive on Christmas morning.
>> Find an Angel Tree location, select a child or learn more


 Adopt a Family

Families and seniors in need are paired with kind-hearted adopters, who then purchase and wrap gifts for the family/individual in need.
>> Get paired with a family/individual in need or learn more


 Holiday Gift Baskets

We help families in need provide a Christmas dinner celebration for their children on Christmas day.
>> Learn more about sponsoring a holiday gift basket


 Corporate & Business Sponsorships

Local businesses and organizations play a huge role in supporting the Christmas Cheer programs in Fairfield County. From monetary donations to staffing a Red Kettle, there are many options for making an impact!

  Create A Virtual Red Kettle Campaign

A Virtual Red Kettle Campaign allows you to raise funds virtually by tapping into your social media network. This is a great way to spread the word about the needs here in our community while sparking generosity in others; and it can all be done without leaving the house, making it feasible for even the busiest of schedules!

>> Create your own campaign with just a few simple steps!


Registry for Good Purchases

We are partnering with Walmart again this year for the Registry for Good program. If you're able, please consider purchasing an item, or a few, from the Registry for Good to help families in need right here in our community. Click here to make your online purchase. Again this year, Walmart is offering for customers to round up their purchases, with the extra going directly to The Salvation Army.
