Crossroads Church’s annual Christmas Gift Drive looks a little different this year, but it’s easier than ever for anyone to provide a gift for a child in need in their community.
Each of the church’s 11 physical locations will be partnering with local nonprofits and schools to distribute thousands of gifts to children who would otherwise go without a gift this year.
The sites have created Wish Lists on Amazon.com that include items requested by their community partners.
Participants can go to crossroads.net/christmasgiftdrive to find those lists and purchase items that will be shipped to the respective Crossroads location and then distributed to local kids through those partnerships.
Gift buyers can also purchase items at local stores and drop them off at Crossroads locations during specified times if they prefer.
“In a year when far too many households have been devastated financially, we want to provide an opportunity for parents to give their children a Christmas experience filled with hope and laughter,” ReachOut Director Joe Jones said. “The selfless act of being a gift buyer has potential for families to celebrate love of family, warmth, and the joy of Christmas.”
Anyone not near a Crossroads site can still participate by providing a gift to national and global partners including the Four-Seven Prison Ministry, Build the Future, or Amigos for Christ.
