Christmas Wish List 2023

christmas wish listRead a story.
Give a gift.
Touch a life.

The Glen Elm Church of Christ is again facilitating the Regina Christmas Wish List – an opportunity for  citizens of Regina to express care and compassion during the Christmas season. The first batch of stories has been posted, and many more will be posted in the days ahead. One exciting development is a trio of new partner organizations this year: CityKidz Regina, Morning Star Ministries, and the Shirley Schneider Centre. Check out their partner pages on the RCWL website to learn more.

The project works like this:

  • Local organizations, working with the impoverished and marginalized of our city, identify individuals and families within their circles, and create concise stories which are posted to the website.
  • Caring citizens read these stories, pledge gifts, and purchase the items they have pledged (new items only), which they then deliver to Glen Elm Church of Christ (1825 Rothwell St., Regina) by 4:00 p.m. on December 21.
  • The gifts are forwarded on to the partnering organizations, who place them in the hands of the clients they identified.
  • Everyone has a merrier Christmas!

This year’s drop-off days are December 16-19.

To join in, visit Regina Christmas Wish List. All support is greatly appreciated!
