Gifts for Advent

CELEBRATE ADVENT WITH GIFTS FOR LIFE. In the spirit of the season of Advent, a time when we reflect on our faith and prepare for Christ’s coming, we offer you the chance to spread hope for others around the world with Gifts for Life. Encourage your school or congregation to work together to make a lasting difference in the lives of those in need. The more members you get involved, the bigger impact you can make! Your contributions this holiday will help nurture children, families and communities and allow them to flourish.
