Your generosity through First Church White Gift Ministry last year helped us to share God's love and hope with 180 children and their families!
The White Gift Ministry at First Church has been a well of joy for countless recipients and givers over the years. This year we are delighted to offer multiple ways for your to support local children, whether you like to shop or not.
We will provide each child with their wishes (ages 8 and younger) or provide the family with a $50 gift card to a local store for children ages 9 and older. We hope to reach 200 local children.
Use the secure online form below to sponsor one or more children at $50.00 per child. You may also make a donation to the White Gift Fund.
If you wish, you may make your gifts and donations in honor or in memory of special people in your life. If you would like a card sent to an honoree or the family member of a memorial gift, please provide the recipient’s contact information.
Thank you for your generosity.
Our goal is to help make Christmas special for 200 children and youth this year!
There are a few ways to give:
1. Sponsor a child's wishes through a monetary donation ($50).
2. Take an ornament and shop for the wishes (items, toys or gift cards).
3. Donate any amount of money, and we will do the shopping for you!
You will be invited to take an ornament for a child, or a sibling group, and prayerfully consider how you could fulfill the child's wishes. Gifts should be placed in a white bag, with the label attached. Why a white bag? The white wrapping or bag symbolically equalizes the value of the gift and emphasizes the act of giving and not the gift itself. We ask that you return the gift to the church on Sunday, December 8, during the Christmas pageant (or before!). Gifts will be distributed to the agencies beginning December 8.
