LIVE LOVE CHRISTMAS
Distributing Hope at Christmastime

Saturday, December 15, 2018

Each Christmas, many families in our community go without presents for their children. We launched Live Love Christmas in 2011 to help these families during the holidays. We partner with 20 public schools and 3 DHS offices across the Portland/Vancouver metro area to provide gifts for some of the neediest families in our region.

On December 15, 2018, we host our 8th annual Live Love Christmas event. Through our partnership with Mannahouse (formerly named City Bible Church), parents “shop” free of charge for their children at each of Mannahouse’s four campuses around the city. We want every child who has a need in our community to receive a gift at Christmas. Will you partner with us, local schools, and DHS offices to reach as many children as possible this year?

Six Ways You Can Get Involved:

1.  Donate brand new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0 to 12 (valued around $25).
2.  Provide gift cards in denominations of $25 each for children ages 13 to 18.
3.  Host a toy drive at your business for brand new, unwrapped toys for children 0-12 (valued at around $25).
4.  Donate supplies such as coffee/hot chocolate, pastries/cookies, cups/napkins, etc.
5.  Volunteer and serve at the event.
6.  Make a donation to Live Love NW.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How can I sign up my kids to get a gift? 

A: We would love to get gifts into the hands of every needy child in our community. To do this, we partner with local school counselors and DHS offices who have personal connections with the children they work with. These counselors and DHS staff provide applications to families. To apply for your child, check with your school’s counselor or your DHS office to see if they currently partner with us.  Unfortunately, at this time we cannot take applications directly from families.
