One of the best gifts of Christmas is giving! Here are three easy ways you can give this season to help our community.

NOVEMBER 26 - DECEMBER 13

We are proud partners of the United Way of Douglas and Pope County Holiday Gift Program. The program connects families who need help purchasing gifts for their children with another person (or group) who would like to sponsor them.

GIFTS FOR LOCAL FAMILIES

• Pick up an ornament on the Giving Tree at church
• Ornaments list 1-2 gifts per child
• Consider partnering with another person or household to adopt more than one child

Kalon Prep Academy is a charter high school in Alexandria whose mission is “to meet students where they are and guide them where they want to go. We will do so by listening, leading and launching them on a path to become the best version of themselves.” Calvary is partnering with Kalon Prep to provide gifts for students who need extra support at this time of year.
