Giving back at Christmas

As we enter the Christmas season and look back with thankfulness on the amazing gift that God the Father gave to sinners -His own precious Son - many of us look around to see what we can share with those less fortunate than ourselves. Below is a list for your consideration. You can donate online (click on your country's flag on the right of this blog) or you can send a check (click on "contact us" on the right to get the mailing address). In either case, please specify what you would like your donation to be allocated to.
