Christmas Initiatives
With The Family of Churches
Northwest Gospel Church: East Vancouver
NGC EV is partnering with Fosterful this Advent season to provide meaningful gifts to foster families in need. These gifts will support foster families and parents recently reunited with their children, helping them create a joyful Christmas celebration.
Summit View Church: Herritage Park
Summit View Church: HP is partnering with the Evergreen, Hockinson and Vancouver School Districts to provide meals for families in need during the Christmas season. When school is in session, some students receive one, two and in some cases three meals per day. However, when the schools are on break, meals are not available. Our Christmas Food Boxes support local families with enough food to easily feed a family of four for the week that they are on break. The boxes include non-perishable food along with a gift card to purchase perishable items. We are so thankful to be able to support our local schools for this need!
Summit View Church: Battle Ground
For the past three years, we've partnered with 28 schools, working closely with school counselors to purchase Christmas gifts for the most in-need students across the entire district, including elementary, middle, and high schools in both the BG district and Hockinson. Last year, we provided 400 individual gifts through our "Giving Tree" program.
Northwest GOspel Church: Camas/Washougal
This Christmas season we are once again supporting the work of Open House Ministries. Open house is a family shelter for the homeless in Vancouver, Washington, housing 100-plus residents a night. We are supporting them by purchasing and wrapping gifts for 100 of their residents. Our hope and prayer is that the gifts make them feel loved, not only by our church family, but by the God who has not forgotten them and who loved them so much that he sent his Son that first Christmas to be their Savior.
Summit View Church: Westside
Summit View Church WS is partnering with several local schools—Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Felida Elementary, Alki Middle School, Lake Shore Elementary, Fruit Valley Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, Columbia River High School, Ruth Bader Ginsburg School (new), and the Jim Tangeman Center—to provide meals for families in need during the Christmas season. With schools out of session, the church aims to support these families by offering meal boxes that can easily feed a family of four, along with gift cards and other essential items.
