CHRISTMAS OUTREACH TO CHILDREN IN CHICAGO

For Foster kids and Hospitalized Children

On behalf of Pastors Gregory and Grace Dickow, we wanted to thank you for being a part of our Christmas outreach experience by sponsoring a child’s gift this holiday.

Outreach to children in hospitals: We have the beautiful opportunity to bring Christmas to kids who, due to health reasons, will be in the hospital this Christmas season, and we are also providing gifts for children from low-income families throughout the Chicagoland area.

Outreach to foster kids: It’s exciting that this year, we are also partnering with SOS Children’s Villages, which is a foster care program just a few minutes away from our Chicago Campus. They care for over 250 children and foster families. We are donating wish gifts for over children there for their Christmas party. The special thing about this foster program at SOS is they’re passionate about always keeping siblings together, which is very rare to find. This program provides a safe home for the children paired with great foster parents. This is a new awesome connection we are excited about this holiday season.

To sponsor a child, click one of the ornaments on our 🎄 Tree of Dreams and read their story. Once you choose a child to shop for, fill out the form title “sponsor this child” for next steps. If you’re a part of our global family in another city or country, but would like to bless a child this Christmas, simply click here to donate and follow the prompts. Our Christmas elves will purchase, wrap, and deliver a gift on your behalf for all local kids. The sponsored families are truly grateful for our support this Christmas.
