Giving Tree

Ways to support our partners

We have ongoing relationships with the Love LA partners listed below, supporting many of them for a number of years through volunteering and giving of resources. We are excited to support them in their Christmas giving efforts this year! Visit the Giving Tree table on the sidewalk in between services on Sundays from November 17, and collect a gift tag to join in the giving.

The Salvation Army

Donate gifts to teens from low income families on the west side - they are an often forgotten age group who are in need this Christmas. We will also be donating 50 gift cards for children ages 0-12 years.

Claris Health

Claris Health provides medical, mental health, and support services that equip and care for individuals and their families, before, during, and after pregnancy. This year you can gift a child or family supported by Claris Health to join in with the amazing work they do.

Keep LA Warm (Salvation Army)

We are collecting items to bless our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness this Christmas. This includes blankets, sleeping bags, coats, socks, hats, gloves and more.

Compton Initiative

The Compton initiative has a mission to bring hope and restoration to the City. This year we are partnering with our friends there to supply sports equipment, uniforms and gear to kids engaged in transformative youth Programs in Compton.

Harvest Home

Gift a Child a Toy. We love to bless the moms and children living at Harvest Home, past and present, especially at this time of year. We will be collecting toys for children (Infant to 9 years old, boys and girls), which will be gifted at the Harvest Home Christmas Party. +25 Tags for gift cards for Moms (eg.Target/Amazon/Ulta)

Gift Card Sleeve

Pick up a gift card sleeve on Sunday to help someone in need this winter! Take a sleeve, place a store gift card inside, and keep it with you.
