Upcoming Events
Operation Christmas Wishes
Location: 821 W Chicago Ave, East Chicago, IN 46312
Date: Now through December 10th
Operation Christmas Wishes is our annual holiday program where we pair up generous sponsors like you with families in need. These parents cannot afford to buy Christmas gifts for their children. Rather than them go without, parents apply to our program with information about each of their child’s wants and needs, ages, sizes they wear, etc — and you are given that list!
It’s a beautiful way for the community to come together and support one another. Last year we were able to give over 1,000 children gifts!
Birthday Sponsorship Program
Do you remember your birthdays as a kid? The party, the presents, the cake, the excitement?! SO MUCH FUN! Unfortunately, not every child gets that same experience, so we want to step in to help. Through our donors and sponsors, we are able to get gifts to make every child’s birthday a memorable one. If you need help making your child’s birthday special this year, click here.
