Season of Giving
Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, we bring food and gifts to neighbors who are going through a hard season. It takes all of us. Here is how you can help.
What is the Season of Giving?
It's pretty simple. We partner with local agencies who already know the families in our community who are struggling. They tell us who needs help. We gather the food and gifts. Then on a Saturday morning, volunteers load up their cars and deliver it right to the door.
No one has to stand in a line. Families get a holiday meal and gifts for their kids, delivered with kindness and dignity. And our congregation gets to do what Jesus asked us to do. Love our neighbors.
Kids, students, retirees, whole families. Everyone has a place in this.
What each family receives
Ways you can help
Look for the Season of Giving tables at both campuses starting about four weeks before each delivery. That's where you'll find food bags, driver sign ups, and donation envelopes.
Make a donation
Your gift buys turkeys, hams, fresh produce, and supplies for 120 families. Every dollar goes to the families.
Or grab a Season of Giving envelope at the table and drop it in the offering.
Fill a food bag
This is a great one to do with your kids.
- Pick up an empty bag at the table at either campus. The shopping list is attached.
- Fill it and bring it back by the due date:
Drive a delivery
If you have a car and a Saturday morning, you can do this. Our youth will even load your car for you.
- Sign up at the table, or sign up online.
- Arrive at 9:00 am on delivery day.
- You'll take 2 or 3 families on a mapped route and be finished by about 11:00.
Delivery days
Drivers check in at 9:00 am at either campus: Mud Creek, 8550 Mud Creek Road, Indianapolis, or Promise Road, 12756 Promise Road, Fishers.
