"Gifts with Vision"
catalogues have arrived and are on the table in the church entry.
About Gifts with Vision
The United Church of
Canada developed this giving catalogue Gifts with Vision in response
to member requests to be able to give gifts to relatives, friends,
and loved ones that are in direct support of the church's Mission &
Service partners across Canada and around the world.
If you are seeking inspiring new gift ideas or perhaps would rather not give family and friends the same old clothes/toys/chocolates, Gifts with Vision presents a new way to celebrate special occasions. Give a gift that can help change people's lives!
Gift funding raised for partners through the catalogue will be over and above the regular member-supported, stable core funding that these partners receive.
Everyone will find something in Gifts with Vision worth sharing with the special people in their lives. Gifts are available in a range of dollar amounts, as well as for many areas of need (hunger, shelter, education, health, safety, mobility, and more).
