MISSIONS, INC. OUTREACH PROGRAMS

Christmas
Volunteers purchase Christmas gifts for Mission Nursing Home Residents. It’s easy – all you need to do is sign up! 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 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.
