2023 One City Cares Giving Tree

The One City Cares Giving Tree is dripping with opportunities for you to give back this Christmas. The first opportunity is to purchase visa gift cards for the Harvest House Angels to care for the program participants’ basic, day to day needs. Look for the ivory tags on the Giving Tree!

We have also adopted a Kings Club family of 7. Just a little bit about this beautiful family…they are led by a strong single mom with 2 boys and 4 girls, 2 of which are twins…the 8 year old little girl has cerebral palsy and will have surgery in the new year. They’ve also been moving from transitional housing to living with family after their last home had irreparable roof damage but thankfully, they’ve just moved into a rent home. Let’s bless this family with an amazing Christmas! Look for the blue tags on the Giving Tree!

Lastly, we are partnering with Buckner Beaumont to bless local boys and girls in and out of foster care. Look for the green tags on the Giving Tree!

We will be collected gifts from now until Tuesday, Dec 12th. Please bring all gifts UNWRAPPED so we know what has come in. For more information about the Giving Tree, contact Pastor Amy Everett at the church office 409-892-8475, ext 2226 or email [email protected].
