12th annual Gift of Christmas outreach to the residents of Stark County homeless shelters. The event will be held on Saturday, December 3rd, from 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM. We estimate 130 guests (men, women, and children) will participate from area shelters. Frontline Ministries is partnering with the following agencies:
- The Family Living Center Homeless Shelter in Massillon
- Canton YWCA
- Refuge of Hope Ministries in Canton An overview of the Gift of Christmas activities includes:
- Guests will be fed lunch and transported to local retailers to shop for personal needs and family Christmas gifts with donated funds.
- Following Christmas shopping, our guest will spend the remaining time at Frontline Worship Center in Jackson Township for more activities.
- In a festive Christmas atmosphere, our guests will wrap their purchased Christmas gifts, select from articles of donated clothing, and participate in family and Christmas activities.
- Guests will be served a sit-down holiday banquet with all the trimmings, accompanied by joyful entertainment.
- A Christmas presentation will be offered after banquet which will include drama, dance, worship, and an inspirational message of hope. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to facilitate this outreach.
