Learn how Christmas Outreach works by reading through the questions and answers below.
Each Christmas, North Coast comes alongside our community partners to help bless them with an amazing Christmas and meet some of their real needs. We do this by providing them with gifts and monetary donations. The event kicks off after Thanksgiving and runs for three weekends. Christmas trees can be found at each campus with paper ornaments that display gift items for our partners. People may choose ornaments and bring the gift back to their campus, or they may go online to northcoastchurch.com and donate monetarily to any of the organizations.
The paper ornaments can be found at each campus hanging on the trees. They have the organization name and a gift description. You may select one or as many ornaments as you like, and bring the ornament and the unwrapped gift back by the due date to the campus from which you selected the ornament. There are a variety of physical gifts and gift cards to choose from that are different than what is posted on the website.
Start with “Choose Your Location,” and then browse the organizations your campus is sponsoring, or the different ways to participate.
Online, you may purchase a gift card, or make a monetary donation to a non-profit organization. Additional options are available in-person at your campus.
Drop off gifts during weekend services at your campus, but please deliver by the final collection date of December 10.
The North Coast Community Service Team will deliver gifts to the partner organizations, who will then ensure the gifts are delivered to the appropriate people.
Yes, print your emailed receipt and attach it to the gift when you drop it off. If you can't find the receipt, simply attach a note to the gift with the organization's name for which the gift is intended.
In addition to the gift card option on this website, most campuses will have an option for you to purchase gift cards while on campus. You will have a variety of cards to choose from and may use a credit card, cash or check. The cards will be delivered to the organization via the Community Service team.
No, please only bring new items.
There are a wide variety of gifts to choose from. Give generously if you are able. Gifts are going to people without much this year but there are options ranging from $10 and higher.
If you donated to an organization via the website, the emailed receipt is your donation receipt for tax purposes. If you write a check to “North Coast Church,” your donation will be included on your North Coast Church Contribution Statement, which is made available late January 2024.
All physical gifts and gift cards need to be dropped off at the requesting campus by December 10. Collection will take place at each service from November 25 to December 10. Gifts should be unwrapped, new, and include the paper ornament attached identifying the organization it is intended for.
The gifts support children and adults who have been our Community Service partners throughout the years, in addition to North Coast and Military families in need.
No, bring the gifts unwrapped with the emailed receipt taped on top.
You may donate via credit card on the Christmas Outreach website to a specific organization, or to the General Christmas Outreach fund, which will be distributed to those most in need. Cash or check are also accepted in person.
