ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS

The alternative gift concept provides a gift option that takes the place

of a traditional Christmas gift. These meaningful gifts are in the form

of a donation that will help transform lives. Give a gift of hope in honor

of a friend or family member.

For donations over $50, you will receive a

limited edition ornament while supplies last.

PROJECT HOPE - Project Hope’s goal is to eliminate hopelessness in

our community by providing a holistic program of coaching, training,

education, opportunity, and hope to people who want to move from

an impoverished level of income to a more sustainable quality of life.

The program focuses on six areas for adult participants: family, faith,

education, career, budget, and health. The program also offers Project

Hope tutoring for children of the parents participating in the program.

Project Hope provides volunteers an opportunity to share their gifts

and talents with those in need in our community.

COVID RELIEF - Any funds donated will go toward the needs of people

who are experiencing hardships due to Covid. This could be related

to the loss of a job, the inability to work due to illness, or a business

closing. Contributions will go to help with bills and/or other necessities.

LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS - CUMC partners with many organizations in

the community to provide resources throughout the year in effort to

provide basic needs to those in our community who are less fortunate.

Some of these resources include: Sandwich Blessings, Snack Packs,

Streetside Showers, Samaritan Inn, Thanksgiving Baskets, Blanket

Blessings, Assistance Center of Collin County, Plano Overnight

Warming Station, Emily’s Place, etc.

ZOE - Zoe empowers orphans and vulnerable children around the world

to overcome extreme poverty, become self-reliant, and learn about

God’s love.

COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL - Compassion International serves as a

Christ-centered, child-focused and church-based organization that is a

“love thy neighbor” ministry.

HONDURAS PARTNER CHURCH COVENANT - The goal of this mission

is to establish a self-sustaining United Methodist Church with holistic

ministries empowering people in their context, community, and country.

VISION OF LIGHT TEAM - The VOLT Team travels both to other states

and internationally to provide free eye clinics, prescription glasses,

readers and/or sunglasses to people in need. They also founded a

mobile vision clinic in Cameroon, Africa over 10 years ago and continue

to supply this clinic with needed supplies and eyeglasses.
