At Christmas, we celebrate the gift God has given us through His Son, Jesus! The Hope Project is one way we get to share that gift with the whole Akron area! Join us as we work with our city partner ministries to love people by meeting the tangible needs of our community this holiday season.
How to participate
Claim a tag
Visit one of our lobbies to grab a tag. We have committed to helping our city partners create hope this holiday season. Each tag represents a real need that will spread hope to people in our community.
If you’re not in the building this weekend and would like to claim a tag, you can claim a tag digitally here:
Go get the item and bring it back
Each tag represents an item that can be purchased for one of our city partners. Learn more about our partners below. After you’ve chosen your tags, go out and purchase the item(s), and return the unwrapped gift to the church by December 7th.
Want to donate?
Every year, many tags get claimed, and some don’t. Donating here covers the cost of items that weren’t purchased. All donations go directly to helping our city partners.
Learn more about our partners
Grace Church partners with a variety of organizations throughout the Greater Akron Area. Find out more about each of these opportunities below to see how each one impacts the community, as well as ways to be involved.
Looking for more ways to help this holiday season?
In a season that can be uncertain and hard, at times, we want to continue to be people who share hope with others. We have great opportunities for you to share the love of Jesus with others. Bring a friend and help others in a time when they need it most.
