Every Christmas, New Beginnings conducts its CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS outreach. This annual outreach is designed to give parents in need, a place to “shop for free” for Christmas gifts for their children. This outreach is a safe environment where parents are respected, treated with dignity and given an opportunity to provide a Christmas of “blessing” to their children.

Parents/caregivers pick out toys/gifts for each of their children to be wrapped by New Beginnings volunteers. Our prayer team prays with each family and presents the family with a new Bible in addition to the gifts. Other resources such food and bicycles when available are offered to the families.

New Beginnings also stuffs approximately 350 Christmas stockings to be distributed to the inner-city children and seniors in local nursing homes. Each stocking includes basic toiletries of toothbrush/toothpaste, appropriate toys or items and a book telling the story of Jesus’ birth.

New Beginnings is grateful to partner with various local churches and organizations for donations of food, finances, and toys to make this outreach a success.
