IMPORTANT SPONSORSHIP DETAILS
Thank you for sponsoring a child/children for Hope For Christmas! We love partnering together to live life on mission during the Christmas season. Before you purchase gifts and return them, please read the following information.
HOW TO CHOOSE A GIFT
✅ DO
Check your sponsorship confirmation email to see what gifts were selected by the child you sponsored. Choose TWO gifts that are each in the $25-$40 price range. If you did not receive a confirmation email or you have any questions about what to purchase, please email HopeForChristmas@Revolution.Church so we can assist you.
❌ DON'T
Please do not purchase 5 gifts per child sponsored. We love your generosity, but please remember the child you are shopping for may have siblings that are also registered who will not receive the same gifts. Please consider sponsoring additional children instead. *There are some exceptions regarding two gifts, please read below.
A FEW MORE DETAILS ABOUT CHOOSING GIFTS
We want choosing a gift to be fun, exciting, AND we also want to stay within the guidelines of Hope For Christmas. We understand that some of the gifts the children have requested are less than $25. Here are a few solutions for some of the gifts requested.
- If a child requests a Barbie, you can purchase a Barbie along with doll clothes and accessories. Those two items will be considered ONE gift.
- If a child requests Hot Wheels, you can purchase several Hot Wheels and a track. Those two items will be considered ONE gift.
- If a child requests a soccer ball, football, or basketball, you can purchase one of those items and an air pump. Those two items will be considered ONE gift.
- If a child requests makeup, you can purchase a makeup bag and add several makeup items such as mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and lip gloss. Those items will be considered ONE gift.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team if you have any questions about the gifts your sponsored child requested! We are here to help. Please email HopeForChristmas@Revolution.Church so we can assist you.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR GIFT
✅ DO
Place the two gifts into a simple white bag or gift bag. Attach the confirmation email with the CHILD ID listed on the outside of the bag. You can also write your name, Child ID, and child's name on a piece of paper and attach it to the bag. Bring gifts to your home campus by Sunday, November 24. We will receive gifts during all weekend gatherings and Monday - Thursday from 10:00a - 4:00p at our offices in both Canton and Jasper.
*If you attend Revolution Canton and sponsor a child from the Revolution Jasper list, you can return the gifts to Revolution Canton. Please make sure the gifts are labeled with the Child ID number + Revolution Jasper. We will make sure all gifts are delivered to the correct campus.
❌ DON'T
Please do not gift wrap gifts or write ANY identifying information, such as the Child ID, on the actual gift. We care about the dignity of our registered families, and we want each parent to have the opportunity to wrap and prepare these gifts for their kids. We sort every gift and place them in large bags for the parents to pick up on the day of the event. If you wrap or put the gifts in a gift bag with tissue paper, we have to unwrap them. A simple white, unscented bag is the best option!
✅ DO
Try to return your gifts ASAP. We will start collecting gifts once sponsorships are open during all weekend gatherings and Monday - Thursday from 10:00a - 4:00p at our offices in both Canton and Jasper.
❌ DON'T
Please do not forget to return your gift by November 24. Behind the scenes, we are bagging and sorting thousands of gifts to prepare them for families to receive at our Hope For Christmas Event. Returning your gifts by the deadline is the biggest way you can help the sorting process go as smooth as possible.
