Advent Offering 2019
There are three ways to give in our 2019 Advent Offering:
Time
Affordable Christmas is an empowering shopping experience for
low-income families that allows them an opportunity to provide
Christmas presents for their children at a very low cost. New toys are
donated and then sold for 1/10th of the retail value. We have the amazing opportunity to serve at Affordable Christmas at Redemption Alhambra this year. All proceeds raised from Affordable Christmas will benefit the work of Foster Care Initiatives with birth families whose children are at-risk or in the foster care system.
When: Saturday, December 14 from 8am-2pm (three shifts are available)
Where: Redemption Church Alhambra
1830 West Glenrosa Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85015
