Christmas Shoppe: On December 4th and 5th, Christmas Shoppe will be open at Newbury Park First
Christian Church. Once more, we will open our hearts and our church to distribute Christmas toys for local low-income families. Christmas Shoppe is sponsored by the ACTION Foundation (Area Christians Taking Initiative on Needs). This year, the event will bring together volunteers from more than 40 Ventura County churches and provide toys to more than 900 families.
Newbury Park First Christian Church will be one of five churches hosting a Christmas Shoppe and will serve families in East County. Each of our guest families has been screened and referred to ACTION by one of several local human-service agencies. This year, more families in our community are in financial need than ever before. Some of them are right here in our church. This is what you can do to help:
You can donate NEW, UNWRAPPED toys. Collection boxes will be available at church from November 1st to
29th.
You can also volunteer to help make our Christmas Shoppe a success. Go to www.actionvc.org to view the list of available jobs and sign up. While you're there, watch the Christmas Shoppe video. You'll see everything you need to know about Christmas Shoppe. AND, you'll see our people at work because the video was filmed at Newbury Park First Christian Church during Christmas Shoppe last year.
