Christmas Is Coming

Be part of Christmas here at Partners in Hope!


Each year we celebrate Christmas by giving to people in need. During the winter months, it is especially important to care for those that are not as fortunate as ourselves. We provide a place were those without families can be part of our family. We also deliver care packages to many people, those that we have grown to love and care for during the year as well as people on the street that we are meeting perhaps for the first time. Help us each year share what we can to those that need it.

As we gear up for Christmas and we want to invite you to be a part of it. View the calendar of upcoming events including the wrapping parties. If you want to help provide items or donations for christmas events, check out our Chirstmas Donations page, we will keep this updated so you know what we need. Check out our Christmas Community Events page and come along to be part of the warmth and fun of sharing and giving.

Each year we will be put up more resources, sharing our experiences.
