BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN :: Mother’s Day to Father’s Day

 
Fill a Bottle, Make a Difference!

This yearly campaign makes a difference in the lives of our families in so many ways. We are deeply grateful for the giving of your time and treasure for others by filling a bottle and making a difference!

You can identify your bottle by completing the tag and tucking it inside when you hand it in. Or you may register your bottle online, and we will match up the number on the bottle to your information, and make sure you receive your tax receipt for 2019!

Not interested in filling a bottle but wish to strengthen families and make a difference? Thank you so much!! Click here to donate through Canada Helps – it’s quick, you can use your credit card, and will get a tax receipt right away!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD :: Thanksgiving to mid-November

 
Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on project that brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes packed by Canadians. It is one way to remind children suffering as a result of war, poverty, famine, disease, and disaster that they are loved and not forgotten.
 
Boys and girls receive shoebox gifts  and this connection provides other opportunities for follow-up discipleship programs, where they learn to follow Christ and share Him with others.
 
Consider putting together a box for a little girl or boy this Christmas!

GIFT MOUNTAIN :: mid-November to mid-December

Every year The Open Door hosts a Christmas dinner for over 200 people. The Christmas story is told to many for the first time, and everyone leaves with a GIFT! For many at the dinner, this will be the only gift that they will receive this year.
 

The Open Door often finds it difficult to obtain appropriate or needed gifts for teens and adults. Gift cards help fill the gap(s) and allows each individual to purchase the exact item(s) they need or desire. Your gift enables people with the rare luxury of choosing between treating themselves or providing for their basic necessities.

Please consider donating a Gift Card to GIFT MOUNTAIN.
 

GIFT CARD suggestions: Clothing, Coffee Shops/Cafes, Department Stores, Entertainment, Fast food, Grocery Stores, Restaurants and Specialty Stores.

Return all gift bags to City Centre by Sun Dec 15 to be delivered to The Open Door for their Christmas banquet.
