No Home for Christmas

As Christmas 2012 approaches, many are not going to “Be Home for Christmas”, as they have NO Home for Christmas. 

Tens of thousands across the USA have NO HOME.

CLICK HERE to read a recent post on this subject from our CitiIMPACT Missions group,  as they share information about CitiIMPACT Disaster Response or read on below.

As we continue on together in reaching the at-risk kids through local churches and ministries, be prayerful and active with your continued participation; for which we are so filled with gratitude. Blessings, JD Smith
No Home For Christmas . . .
As we busily prepare for Christmas, let us not forget those desperately hurting this year.Over 60,000 people have been left homeless due to Sandy.  There is little temporary housing, emergency shelters have closed, and gracious friends and families who opened up their home are feeling the “inconvenience” of extra bodies.  Many are left with little choice but to live in the debris.  How you can bring HOPE to the hopeless:

  • Bring a Team:  Nothing would be better than being HOME for Christmas.You can help get them closer.

What's it like to be heroic?

The team from  Montgomery Community Church brought along 10 men recovering from drug addictions. Listen to their amazing stories of how helping others helped them.

  • Donate:   $10 puts a gift into a needy child’s hand.  Through our partners we will be serving close to 50,000 children.  We are still short about  20,000 gifts.
  • Give Thanks and Continue to Pray.  After the 15 of Dec. We, through our sponsors,  will have delivered over 100 semis of relief aid to Isaac and Sandy!

 Here are two video thank-you from church partners in NY and NJ thanking CitiIMPACT, thus all of you, for relief supplies.  Thank you for giving to make it possible.

People went weeks without electricity or running water after Sandy.  Yet, this is the norm everyday for the people of Liberia.  There is no electricity in the country.  Neighborhood water pumps are even short supply.  School is a luxury most can’t afford.  How you can bring HOPE to these, the least of them:

  • SPONSOR A CHILD – provides tuition, clothes, and food. 
  • Think of doing this  on behalf of a loved one as a Christmas gift or in memory of one who has passed.

    Sponsorship FAQ

  •  Provide a one time special holiday meal and gifts for needy family.  $50 covers gifts for a family and rice for the month.
  • Buy Bridge Brew Coffee.  Makes excellent hostess gifts, stocking stuffers, or teacher gifts.  Not only does it taste great, it’s fair trade, AND the proceeds go towards starting schools in Liberia thus preventing child trafficking.  Buy ten or more through Dec. 15th and shipping is on us.  Email for details.
