Sponsoring a specific box with a label will allow you to find out where your gift ended up!
Monetary gifts of any amount help deliver our 3,000 Packing Party gifts to their recipients.
All Ages Can make a Difference!
Individuals and families at Christ Church and beyond look forward to year-round Prep Nights, collecting and donating supplies, helping set up and tear down, packing shoebox gifts, collecting packed shoeboxes, and hosting at Christ Church during Event Week. Your most important role? Inviting community friends and organizations to jump in, too!
