Servant Leadership - We lead with humility, putting others’ needs before our own. That’s what keeps us grounded and effective. (Phil 2:3–4) 6. Empowerment - We don’t just meet immediate needs—we equip our neighbors with the knowledge, skills, and resources to build financial stability and long-term independence. (1 Thes 5:11)

Families who haven't participated in other Christmas benevolence programs, reside in LHISD, and qualify for the free/reduced lunch program are eligible. At no cost to them, the parents/guardians go upstairs to 'shop' for Christmas gifts for their children.
