2025 REGISTRATION IS FULL
What is Christmas for 508?
Back in 2011, Faith Church in Auburn MA started a Christmas tradition to serve underprivileged families in the 508 community by providing Christmas gifts to kids ages 0-13. This tradition has grown and changed since then, but the mission remains the same - to love our community extravagantly during the Christmas season because of the extravagant way Jesus first loved us.
Families in need will register for the event and fill out a gift wishlist for each child. The CF508 team then works to purchase gifts, coordinate volunteers, and put on a fun family Christmas extravaganza! The second Saturday in December, registered families gather at Faith Church, and are led through this amazing walkthrough event with games, activities, and fun for the whole family! At the end of the event, families receive their bags of gifts to take home for Christmas morning.
The hope and goal is to expand CF508's impact each year, welcoming more and more families into this awesome event! In 2024 we reached 130 families - 312 kids total!!
FINANCIAL GENEROSITY
Our 2025 goal is to raise $45,000 that will be used to purchase gifts for each child, and supplies for all the activities on the day of the event.
Faith Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and 100% of all financial donations are tax deductible.
