Christmas in July at OneCompassion.

Christmas in July at OneCompassion!

Here at OneCompassion we have many events throughout the year, but one of our favorites is our Christmas in July Ministry. Each July, OC delivers bins to deserving families in our backyard of Johnston County North Carolina, providing them with school supplies, new clothing, and snacks for the upcoming school year.

This year, 183 school aged children across 63 families were nominated and will be receiving these bins which we're praying will plant a seed in these families lives and lead them to know Jesus.

The planning for this event starts months in advance. We contact families and find out their children’s sizing and needs. We then set a budget per child and plan shopping days with LOTS of volunteers. Each child gets personally shopped for so this part takes a lot of planning and support and LOVE from our local community. 

From there, each family’s bin gets folded up nicely and put together. We had volunteers from Hope Center and Hopefront Church dividing out snacks, praying over bins, and they even wrote out hand written notes to each child. They’re filled with so much love before our team at RiverWild drives to each family to drop them off.

Special Thank you to all the Volunteers that contributed to this important cause: NWiR NC Raleigh Triangle Counsel , Generation Church, Compare Foods Clayton, Hope Center, White Oak Baptist VBS, and Hopefront Church.
