And he answered them, "Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise." Luke 3:11
Description
Christmas Sharing is a community-wide program of outreach to families and individuals in need at Christmas time. The need has been especially great in the past several years because of the continuing impact of inflation on the buying power of fixed incomes and reductions in government-funded assistance programs.
Our Mission
Christmas Sharing provides an opportunity for giving and service for each of us in the spirit of Christmas to those less fortunate than ourselves. Christmas Sharing reaches several hundred families each year and Gary Memorial UMC routinely reaches well over 100 of those families.
Gary has played a pivotal role in establishing Christmas Sharing in DuPage County.
