Part of the mission statement at 168 is to participate in the flourishing of our communities.

This Christmas, we are partnering with Sharing Connections to collect gift items and gift cards so that caregivers can shop for their children. 

Plus, 100% of your financial gift will be matched by 168.

Needed items:

1. new toys, stuffed animals, board games

2. new hats, gloves, and coats

3. new books, puzzles, and crafts

4. walmart or target gift cards in the amount of $25

how you can participate

1. Send all unmarked gifts to 900 Ogden Ave. Downers Grove, IL 60515 Box #235 (One Six Eight Community Church)

2. Donate financially by clicking the give button on the bottom right hand corner of this page and select "Community Partners.” 100% of your donation earmarked for community partners will go towards helping caregivers buy gifts for their kids.

Update: We will be collecting items through December 13th.
