In the spirit of giving, what matters most is giving from the heart. We often search for the perfect gift for our loved ones, something that brings a smile, enriches their lives, or offers meaningful support.
At Chalice, Christmas is a truly a busy, and blessed, time of year. During these final months, there is a strong focus on sending essential gifts to families who need them most. Our supporters generously embrace this season of giving, spreading the joy of Christmas by donating on behalf of their own families and helping make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
Creating a lasting change for the families we serve isn’t something one person can do alone, it takes a community working together.
Chalice’s Santiago site in Chile is committed to uplifting their community, even beyond sponsorship. They embrace “causes that embody the true spirit of community, solidarity, and faith,” says Jesmarina, a leader in the site.
Not far from their site office, 1,200 migrant families live in Chile’s largest migrant camp, Millantú. Word reached the Santiago team that camp had no drinking water. They had to act.
Thanks to everyone who gave a “most needed” gift through our Christmas gift catalogue, the Santiago team delivered 150 jugs of water and 30 boxes of food for the 3,500 people in need.
“This support came at a much-needed time,” says Evelyn, the camp director. “Here we must conserve every drop of water, and there are many families who simply have nothing to eat. Chalice’s support is a welcome relief.”
“Learning about new realities, such as those at Camp Millantú, has allowed us to grow even closer to the community,” says Jesmarina, “and realize the impact Chalice has on the life of those in most need.”
“Our desire is to continue moving forward…making real a more dignified present and a future full of hope.”
This Christmas, give from the heart. You can provide essential items to families in need through our 2025 Christmas gift catalogue.
