In 2009, what was then, Lynchburg First Church of the Nazarene, saw a need and decided to collect food to give to hungry families in Lynchburg. 300 families were served that first Christmas. With your help, we are aiming to serve 1,000 families this Christmas. That’s how we can spread joy.
Each year, we collect food to go in each food box along with monetary donations to cover the cost of any food we have to purchase. It’s your generosity that drives this effort.
Food items can be brought in to Compassion Church of the Nazarene during the week. Items are needed by Sunday, December 10. These are the items needed:
Every year we will end up purchasing outstanding food items. Any donations will help reach the goal of feeding 1000 families.
This year, Compassion Church will give away 1000 food boxes on December 16 at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm. We need your help. Will you sign up to volunteer?
Gather at Compassion Church at 7:00pm to pack 1000 food boxes
This year, we are returning to Christmas food box giveaway services. 10am 1pm 4pm
