The Manger

What is The Manger?

The Manger is a Christmas gift store for needy families in Northwest Columbus.  Its purpose is to help ease the burden of gift giving by allowing parents to shop for their families at greatly reduced prices.  $2 buys three gifts for each family member, so for $8 a family of four can have wrapped presents to open on Christmas morning!  Parents leave The Manger with dignity, having selected and paid for the gifts for their children.  But in order to help these families this Christmas, we desperately need your help!

The Manger Needs Merchandise:

• New, unwrapped gifts in the $15-$25 price range.
• Gifts are needed for all ages, infant through seniors, boys, girls, men and ladies!
• Christmas decorations for a festive atmosphere!
• Items can be dropped off at the store during open hours, or call the number below for pick up.

The Manger Needs Monetary Donations:

• Wrapping supplies, tape, batteries, etc. will all be purchased ahead of time.
• Gifts necessary to balance merchandise offerings for each age group will also be purchased.
• Gift receipts available when checks are made out to Journey Church of Columbus

The Manger Needs YOU:

• To set up and clean up ~ see dates listed below!!
• To volunteer! Dozens of people are needed to stock, help shoppers, wrap gifts, counsel.
• To invite your family, small group, co-workers and neighbors to come with you!
• To PRAY! Specifically for merchandise, volunteers, for our customers, and for a spirit of service.
