Christmas

Graceworks' Christmas Clearinghouse provides a way for Williamson County families in need to receive a food box with staples and seasonal specialties. The Manger program allows needy families to shop for gifts at drastically discounted prices. One can pre-register and draw a shopping date for the Manger while applying through the Christmas Clearinghouse during the month of October.

The Graceworks' Christmas Clearinghouse helps hundreds of underprivileged families each year by providing food boxes at Thanksgiving and Christmas and offering a shopping experience that is an affordable option for these families. But we need your help to make this a reality.

Gift Needs for the Manger:
In 2003 we had over 2000 people eligible to shop for gifts at the manger. Each person is able to purchase 1 large and 2 small gifts. Therefore, we need over 6,000 gifts to meet the demand!! We are one of the only organizations in the country that offers gifts for every member of the family. We are always in need of gifts suitable for adults and teens as well as children. Gifts should be new and cost around $20.

To sponsor a food basket(s), volunteer for the manger or for suggestions on gift items please contact Graceworks Christmas coordinator Tina Edwards 794-9055 x 24.
