Project Christmas

“For God so Loved the World...” is the theme of Project Christmas 2007. Christmas is a time to count our blessings and to give to those less fortunate. Our hope is that everyone in our community will be able to celebrate Christmas with a good meal and gifts for the children.The Delta Christian Ministerial Association sponsors Project Christmas each year to provide a way for you to help others. To share the love that God has given to you.

There are cans placed around town to collect cash donations for Project Christmas. We thank every place of business willing to sponsor a place for the donation can. Please donate your change to Project Christmas when you see one of these donation cans.

You may also contribute money to Project Christmas by making a donation to your church -- clearly noting that it is for Project Christmas. Tax-deductible donations must be made through a church with a non-profit id. Or you can make a donation directly to Project Christmas by sending your check to PO Box 884, Delta Junction, AK 99737. Another way to donate cash is to deposit it directly into Project Christmas’ account at either Mt McKinley Bank or Wells Fargo Bank in Delta Junction.

Due to problems with a lot of out-dated food stuffs being donated last year and storage concerns, only monetary donations can be accepted. Please recall those biblical references to selling possessions and giving the money to help those in need -- storing up treasures in heaven, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (See Matthew 19; Mark 10; and Luke 12.)

This year we anticipate about 100 Project Christmas boxes will be distributed. The Project Christmas Coordinator is Delta Presbyterian and Faith Lutheran churches. If you have questions or wish to help, please contact the church office at 895-4322. The boxes will be packed on December 20 and distributed on December 21 and 22.

You may donate to Project Christmas at any time during the year – you are never too late to help with next Christmas!

Thank you for your generosity.
