Christmas in July - Giving to ELCA World Hunger

It’s Christmas in July again for ELCA World Hunger by giving through ELCA Good Gifts! On July 5th and 6th look for the Christmas tree display. This year all gifts will be matched by an anonymous donor in the Northern Illinois synod, up to $100,000! Let’s see how much our gifts can multiply and make a difference in the lives of families in ELCA community partners across the globe.

A $50 donation will:
• Buy a goat
• Provide one share of a $500 cow
• Buy seeds and gardening tools

Other gifts may include:
• $10 for chicks or stocking a backpack with food
• $20 for honeybees or feeding 10 people at a soup kitchen
• $30 for a pig

To make your donation, just pick out an ornament and an offering envelop. Place your money or check written out to SOTP in the envelop and drop off the donation in the God’s Global Barnyard “barn” at the display table, or donate “online”. Hang your ornament on the tree so we see how our gifts are transforming lives, and creating hope in the lives of families facing food insecurity.

You can donate online at: www.bit.ly/SOTPELCAhunger

Please return all gifts/donations by Sunday July 27th.


Help needed for 15 minutes prior to each church service to maintain donation table and answer questions.

Saturdays: 1 person needed
Sundays: 1-2 people needed
