City Impact Provides Christmas to Families Through Gifts of Love Event

City Impact (cityimpact.org) is excited to host their annual Gifts of Love event, December 9 – 15. Gifts of Love has been providing Christmas with dignity to families in need for over 20 years. In 2017, City Impact partnered with local businesses, churches, and thousands of community members, to provide over $110,000 in gifts to more than 3,200 kids and their families!

During Gifts of Love, City Impact sets up a Christmas store for income-qualified families to spend their own money on gifts for their kids. Parents can buy new gifts at 70% off retail prices. The store will be open for community shopping on December 14 and 15. Families who are part of one of City Impact’s programs have the opportunity to shop earlier, so there is a need for volunteers at the store beginning on December 9.

To support this year’s Gifts of Love event, anyone is welcome to sponsor a child for just $40 or a family for $200. City Impact is also accepting donations of new, unwrapped gifts or gift wrap supplies at any Gifts of Love collection site between November 11 and December 5. Another way to participate is by volunteering! Sponsorship and volunteer sign-up can be found online at cityimpact.org.

Together, we can impact Lincoln by helping thousands of kids and their families celebrate Christmas with dignity! Follow City Impact on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, or call (402) 477-8080 for more information.
