MISSIONS, INC. OUTREACH PROGRAMS

Christmas
Volunteers purchase Christmas gifts for Mission Nursing Home Residents. Resident requests are distributed to volunteers, who purchase a gift, wrap it and bring it back to the church for delivery. 



Birthday
Throughout the year, volunteers purchase a birthday gift for a nursing home resident. We send you a resident’s name and their gift preference; all you need to do is purchase and wrap and label the gift and drop it off at church. We will deliver the gift in time for the resident’s birthday.

To Sign-Up for the Christmas or Birthday Programs,
please contact our Outreach Ministry Coordinator.
