Gifts of Hope offers an opportunity to celebrate a non-material Christmas that directly benefits the local community. Shoppers gather in the Fellowship Hall of Covenant to talk with representatives from ten local and global organizations. They symbolically purchase a list of items in four giving levels of $10, $25, $50 or $100, like books for children, personal hygiene supplies for a person re-entering the community following incarceration, or a doorknob for a new home. Items like these represent a monetary contribution to the organization and can be gifted to a friend or loved one. When shopping is completed, a complimentary personalized card is prepared for the recipient of the gift, describing the item that has been given in his or her name.
