Seniors
From October through December, our special mission offering will focus on supporting Seniors. We’re highlighting the meaningful work of The Christmas Fund and North East Seniors for Better Living’s efforts to address food insecurity in our community.

The Christmas Fund
For over a century, The Christmas Fund has uplifted retired and active clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ through tangible acts of care. Each December, the fund provides emergency financial assistance, supplements small pensions and health premiums, and delivers heartfelt “Thank You” gift checks to lower-income retirees—reminding them they are not forgotten during the holiday season.
