Packed with Love Appeal
*last updated – 5:30pm, 09/12
Packed with Love is an amazing initiative that Jericho Road does each year in partnership with Presbyterian churches. With the support of volunteers who collect, pack and transport goods, we’re able to provide hampers to those in need across NSW.
Although we receive numerous donated goods in the lead up to Christmas, we often need to purchase additional goods to meet the requirements of each hamper, as well as to be able to offer food support to families and individuals at other times of the year.
By giving to Jericho Road’s ‘Packed with Love Hampers’ you are providing the resources needed to make sure that households in need can be connected to Christian community and feel the tangibility of God’s love for them through practical assistance.
THIS MINISTRY
Each year we distribute hampers to congregations so that they can be given to people who are finding life difficult and need a helping hand. We want the hampers to help create opportunities for you to connect with people in your community and show love in a practical way. The hampers contain food and gifts and each year they are given as an expression of Jesus’ love, letting people know that we are thinking of them at the time of our great Saviour’s birth.
Every bit helps us to continue to work together to show that we, like the Samaritan, are ready to be the people who love our neighbours. You can donate by sending us a cheque, direct deposit or online. All donations over $2 are tax deductible
This Christmas, we can show the love of Jesus through practical assistance, providing food hampers and gifts that have been packed with love.
WHy do we need donations?
To be able to provide hampers to the numerous locations in and outside of Sydney, we need funds – this helps us obtain whatever goods are not donated, resource the logistics of the project as well as provide funds to regional churches to bless their local areas in this way.
To donate, choose the option “Packed with Love Hampers” as the purpose of donation.
