Christmas Toy Drive:
Niceville, North Crestview, and Bluewater Bay Campus
Give the gift of dignity to a local family this year by donating a brand new, unopened toy to our Christmas store!
Donated gifts are sold at pennies on the dollar to local families.
Everyone loves the feeling of giving a gift, and when a local parent picks a toy for their kid they get that same great feeling!
Bring brand new, unopened toys to the racks, or guest information desk outside your worship venue between Nov 15 and Dec 8.
Don’t know what to buy? Here are some suggestions:
General Advice: Bring your favorite childhood toy! Do you have grandkids/nieces and nephews/cousins—-what are they into? Bring that! Do you see some common traits in the toy section at your favorite store? Those are probably the most popular toys this year— try those!
Do Not Bring: Experience has taught us that shoppers do not want stuffed animals or books. I know we love to give these things—they simply don’t sell at the Christmas store! Also, we are very much into thriftiness and we hate waste, however we do not accept pre-owned gifts for this project!
Biggest Need: Older kids are often the most overlooked group when donation time comes. The gifts most popular among older kids are: makeup, lotion, bath bombs/bubbles, slippers, restaurant gift cards, headphones, deodorant, sports ball, flat brim or snap back hats, axe ‘cologne,’ wild patterned socks, sunglasses, etc.
South Crestview:
Serve local Crestview kids, seniors in care facilities, and newborns with specific gifts (noted on the star tree)
Grab a star from the tree in the Kids Lobby between Nov 28-Dec 19
Find information outside the worship venue, or ask a host after worship at the South Crestview Campus.
Africa Advent:
Once again we will be empowering the church in Africa through our Africa Advent offerings!
Take the challenge: Cut your personal spending in half, and give to a Kingdom Cause!
Buy Less - Give More!
Africa Advent Offerings, information, and inspiration
all start on November 28!
