Showing the love of Jesus to our community through affordable Christmas shopping
You can help show Christ’s love this Christmas by contributing a gift to the Christmas Store which will provide parents a dignity-giving shopping experience where they are able to buy gifts for their children at a reduced cost (70% or more off of retail price!).
Every December, our Puente del Pueblo ministry invites under-resourced families in our community to the Christmas Store, providing parents the opportunity to stretch their hard-earned dollars to purchase affordable gifts for their children. At the Christmas Store, parents are able to shop for gifts for their children, enjoy Christmas music and treats in a festively decorated space, and have their gifts wrapped for them by a friendly team of volunteers.
In addition to this, the Christmas Store provides an opportunity for these under-resourced families to connect to the much-needed services that Puente del Pueblo offers, and to be prayed for and connect with our church family.
To participate either:
- Place your gift—new, unwrapped, and with the receipt*—in the Gift Drive collection boxes available in the lobby area on Sundays November 3 through December 8.
- Purchase gifts online from our Amazon link above and have them shipped directly to the Christmas Store location (Note: Gift Registry address—Community Fellowship Church—must be selected at time of ordering. If you have issues selecting the address, please send gifts to this address—28W240 W North Ave, West Chicago, IL 60185. Please have the name on the shipment to say “Community Fellowship – PdP Christmas Store”). Gifts can be ordered online from November 3 through December 8.
*Turning in the receipts for gifts helps us determine the cost of the gift, allowing us to accurately adjust the price when reducing the cost of the gifts for the Store.
