The holidays are times of enjoying family and friends, of special meals around the table, and savoring the rich blessings we enjoy at God’s hand. As we enter into this Christmas season, we remember those who have lost so much in California’s recent wildfires. Among those are 10 families at the Charis church in Chico, California, whose homes are a total loss.
Christians are characterized by their compassion and generosity, so if you have been moved by the tragic images coming out of these fire zones and are wondering how you can help, we invite you to join a Gift Card Shower to bless these family-members-in-need.
These cards also will put tangible help into the hands of the Chico church [livinghopechico.com] as they reach out to serve their community.
WHAT KIND OF CARDS
What kind of gift cards are needed? These families need pretty much everything, so card to any major retailers or restaurant will help, such as:
- Walmart
- Target
- Lowes
- Applebees
- McDonalds
- Visa gift cards
WHERE TO SEND THEM
Mail the cards to: Chico Fire c/o Auburn Grace, PO 6446, Auburn, CA 95604
Please join us in praying especially for these 10 families, who will be celebrating Christmas in a way they could have never imagined not that long ago. Our prayers and gift cards flooding in from all over North America will remind them and their communities that they are not alone in their time of need.
