Open each year for two days in December, the Christmas Store helps meet the needs of those within our church or community who have legitimate needs. Located at Prestonwood, the store is filled with new items donated by our church for children, teens and adults.
Families in need purchase the donated items as Christmas gifts for one-fourth the original price. This "help-up" as opposed to a "hand-out" approach offers a fresh way for Prestonwood members to share in the joy of giving while preserving the self-respect and dignity of those in need.
Through the Christmas Store, needy parents have the pleasure of giving their children new gifts at prices they can afford. This allows children to see their parents as providers, and at the same time, the family is strengthened.
Money received from purchases is used by our City Mission ministries. You can support the Christmas Store by donating new gift items with price tags attached, contributing financially, and volunteering to work in the store.
