This holiday season, we hope you join us in blessing our neighbors near and far. 

Starting Sunday, November 3rd, and running through Sunday, November 24th, we invite you to bring your donations to any BridgePoint campus for our various initiatives, just look for the designated collection area at your campus. This year, in light of the recent hurricanes that have impacted so many in our community, we recognize that our Generosity Drive may look a little different. Yet, this is a unique opportunity to embody Christ’s love and compassion through our actions.

By participating, you’re not just giving; you’re helping to restore hope to families who are facing significant challenges. Your contributions provide essential support to those in need, reminding them that they are not alone and that God’s grace is present in their lives. Every donation, no matter how small, carries the potential to make a lasting impact and demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. Whether you’re bringing in donations or praying for these initiatives, thank you for being a vital part of this mission to spread hope and healing this holiday season
For more information on each donation initiative, you can either click the buttons below, or scroll down the page. If you want to give financially, you can do so through our online giving platform. From November 3rd-November 24th, anything given to the Local Missions Lane will go directly to the Thanksgiving Food drive and the Christmas Toy drive. We'd love for you to pray about how you, your family, your friends, or group can be involved with bringing hope to many, this holiday season. If you have any questions, please reach out to Melanie at mbenner@bridgepointfl.com

Operation Christmas Child 

BridgePoint is partnering with Samaritan's Purse for Operation Christmas Child again this year and we'd love for you to join us! Operation Christmas Child is an initiative that collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items that will be delivered to children in need all around the world, to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way. For many of these children, this gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

You can either pack a shoebox in person and drop that off at any BridgePoint campus during collection Sundays, or build a shoebox online.

Christmas Toy Drive

For another part of this year's Generosity Drive we'll be collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children ages 0-18.

Anything from stuffed animals, to art supplies, to games, to books, will be used to bless others in our community and we'd love for you to join us! You can bring your toys to any campus on one of our collection Sundays (November 3rd, November 10th, November 17th, November 24th), or shop our Amazon Gift List.
