Community Assistance Christmas Help 2025

Each year, the ZPC Community Assistance Ministry (CAM) blesses families during the Christmas season by offering assistance to our neighbors in Boone and Hamilton counties who are struggling due to job loss, illness, injury, or other financial crisis. CAM shares the love of Christ with each family by providing household supplies and gift cards so they may shop for Christmas gifts for their family. This short term ministry is a great group project for neighbors, families, Home Groups, or friends. 

There are three ways to give:

1. Monetary Donations: Monetary donations will be used to purchase gift cards and/or items to be included in the gift baskets. Give here

2. Gift Cards: Meijer or Walmart gift cards ($50 or $100 denominations) that will allow families to shop for their children for Christmas.

3. Laundry Gift Baskets: We will give you a laundry basket (or two) and ask that you shop for the items on the list. Filled baskets will be collected on Sunday, Dec 7 between 8:45 am and 12 pm
