Christmas Gift Drive
The 2019 effort is done!
All year long, we minister with our incarcerated community and families (Skagit County Community Justice Center) and with families battling addiction, homelessness, trauma, immigration issues, and despair in the Family Justice Center.
Every Christmas, you gather gifts for their children and help us wrap them. This year, you’ll have them gathered and in our building by Wednesday, December 11.
“You” being individuals in the community, local congregations, businesses, and small groups.
Arrange a delivery to us in Burlington (701 East Fairhaven Ave) by contacting admin@tierra-nueva.org or call Alvin at 360-941-6913.
We gather YOU at our building to help sort and gift-wrap HUNDREDS of presents.
Saturday, December 14 from 11:00 AM - 3:30 PM.
We deliver these to local families the week up to Christmas, sharing the love and joy of Jesus.
In doing so, we invite these families to Sunday Worshipping Community, Family Support Center, and Daily Gospels & Psalms.
This year, we’re inviting families to join us on Saturday, January 11, 2020 for a free movie night—Princess Bride (1987)! This is another (and easier) on-ramp in building relationship with God’s people. All are welcome!

Last year, we distributed more than 300 gifts to 50+ local families. That’s a ton more than the year before and this year will be even more.
Some, but not all of the kinds of things we are looking for: board games, puzzles, Legos, fuzzy socks, coats, sports equipment, books, art supplies, stuffed animals—the kinds of things your kids would want!

With these funds, we fill in the gap of what’s needed for the ages of children we’re serving. Last year, we didn’t have much donated for teenagers—we were able to purchase bluetooth speakers! They LOVED it!
2018 is a wrap! Watch our recap video and stay in touch about summer efforts to bless our community.
