This year, Christ Point Bible Church is partnering with Hope Academy to make Christmas a bit brighter for those in need. Our December GONE Event will be to volunteer our time and gifts for Main Street Mission’s Christmas with Dignity. Hope Oliphant is the founder of Main Street Mission in China Grove and is also the Hope Academy Parent who is spear-heading this worthy event.
Here’s a bit about what Christmas with Dignity is all about. “CWD allows children to see their parents as providers and because of this family is strengthened. CWD also allows parents to have the opportunity to choose gifts themselves for their family members and restores a sense of dignity for the family. This approach to Christmas giving is not a handout, but a hand up.”
The Christmas with Dignity Store provides an opportunity for families who are struggling financially to purchase Christmas gifts at a significantly reduced cost. By allowing families the opportunity to purchase their children’s gifts it helps to preserve the dignity of the family. This is a special event where parents shop, children are cared for in a separate area and hot chocolate and cookies are served. There are several opportunities to serve both at the store on December 10th and the days prior, in addition to donating toys and food items.
