Shoe Box Gifts For Kids
This is an annual event in which we reach out to the children of the Grove community as well as to their parents. We have a party to celebrate the Birth of Christ. We even sing the "Happy Birthday" song and have cake. The children understand the true meaning of Christmas when they leave. We spend tireless hours preparing for the distribution of hundreds of shoe boxes filled with age-appropriate goodies. We begin our preparation mid-July and always can use hands in this area of service.

The Adopt a Teen & Parent Program

This year we will continue with a new program designed to help families who have teenagers. Area agencies adopt families for Christmas and only provide for children up to the age of 12.  We would like to extend blessings to the entire family in need.  So we will be blessing the teens and the parents!  We pray that you would open your hearts to a family this holiday. To make it easier on everyone we will be accepting gift cards to meet this need to the following places:

For the Teens

  • AMF Bowling
  • Consolidated Theaters
  • Bruster's Ice Cream
  • Subway
  • Chick-Fil-A 

For the Parents

  • Food Lion
  • Wal-Mart
  • Target
  • Ukrop's

If you would like to adopt a family call 887-1100 or drop your gift cards off at the center during normal buisness hours. We will be accepting cards all year. Cutoff date for adoptions is Dec. 5th, 2008.

Blessing Room
This is an annual event designed to fill in the gaps at a very stressful time of year. The Blessing Room is a part of the Shoe Box Gifts for Kids festivities. We allow the parents to go into the Blessing Room and pick out a new toy or item for each of their children. Donations for this room are gathered throughout the year. If you would like to contribute and enable a parent to give a gift to their child, please
CONTACT US for more information. For some children it may be the only gift they receive.

Serving our community ONE life at a time!
