Christmas for Everyone is a ministry that provides Christmas gifts to children in need in the greater Lafayette area. FBC partners with the American Red Cross, Prison Fellowship (Angel Tree), and several other local evangelical churches for this ministry. Volunteers at participating churches can choose to sponsor a child. Sponsors obtain the child’s Christmas list and purchase gifts specifically for that child which total $30. |
|
New gifts are collected at several local churches, schools, businesses, and retail locations. They are inventoried, priced, and redistributed to participating local churches. These are passed out as bonus gifts. Families in need in the community sign up for CFE through the Red Cross. |

 |
The selected families are served at one of the participating local churches on Distribution Day. Distribution Day is typically held two Saturdays before Christmas. Parents receive gifts purchased specifically for their children, and they are able to pick out additional bonus gifts as well. Gift wrapping and light refreshments are provided at most locations. |
