SUMMARY:Operation Christmas Child
DESCRIPTION:Imagine trying to explain the gift of salvation to a child who has no concept of a gift because they have never in their life received one. \nIt is for these children that Christ Church now partners with the global outreach Operation Christmas Child to bring hope to families through shoebox-sized gift packages. \nYour contribution makes an eternal impact. Filled with fun toys\, essential needs\, and a gospel message\, each gift box shares the love of Jesus with those who have not heard his name before. \nParticipation is easy… \n1. Donate Online\nFor every $25 you donate\, we ship another gift box. \n\nVisit ChristChurchPlano.org/Give\nTap Give Online\nDesignate fund: Operation Christmas Child\n\n2. Or Pack Your Own Box\nParticipate as a family by packing your own gift box to send. \n\nPick up a box (or several boxes!) from the Fellowship Hall.\nFollow the instructions on the box label for gift ideas.\nUse the QR code on the box to pay for $10 global shipping.\nDrop off your boxes to the Fellowship Hall by September 1.

SUMMARY:Kids in Need: Backpack Drive
DESCRIPTION:“Truly\, I say to you\, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers (and sisters)\, you did it to me.” – Matthew 25:40 \nKids in Need is an annual outreach event at Christ Church\, mobilizing the efforts of hundreds of parishioners to meet a very practical need in our community: new backpacks and school supplies for families who can’t afford them. \nWe plan to collect\, or purchase with donations\, over 600 backpacks and fill them with school supplies through Kids in Need. The supplies and backpacks will be given to Christ Church’s partnering outreach agencies who\, in turn\, will distribute them to the families they serve. \nHow You Can Help\n1. Make a Financial Donation\nGive Now \nA monetary gift can greatly help us reach our backpack goal. Please designate checks or envelopes by writing “Kids in Need” on the memo line. They may be placed in the offering plate or delivered to the ministry offices during the week. You can also give online with a credit card or eCheck using the link above. \n\nA $40 donation will help us purchase a backpack for a student.\nA $60 donation will help us purchase a backpack and school supplies for a student.\n\nFor more information\, contact Jeff Reaves at JReaves@ChristChurchPlano.org or 214-291-5012. \n2. Donate a Backpack\nGet the whole family involved in the act of giving. We would love to receive donations of new\, sturdy backpacks from those who are able. \n\nBackpacks can be deposited at Christ Church on Sundays before or after worship services. They may also be dropped off at the Ministry Center\, Monday through Thursday\, 9 a.m. – 5  p.m.\nA donation of any amount ($40 suggested) may be given with the backpacks to cover the cost of purchasing school supplies.\nWe do not accept donations of school supplies. In an effort to give the kids more of what they need\, we order school supplies wholesale and cater to what the kids need instead of generic supplies.\nWe cannot accept donations of used backpacks.\n\nPlease deposit your donation at a drop off location no later than July 23. \n3. Volunteer to Pack & Deliver\nVolunteers are needed for packing and delivering backpacks in July. Please contact Jeff Reaves (jreaves@christchurchplano.org) if you would like to help.
