Our church has actively supported United Crescent Hill Ministries since it’s formation in 1974. With the help of partner churches like ours, UCHM serves approximately 3,500 of our neighbors with varied programs, including a food pantry, meals for Seniors, youth activities, preventive health services, and emergency support. A highlight of the year at UCHM is the annual Christmas Connection program, which helps families provide gifts and holiday meals for their children. This year’s program will look a lot like last year, which helped 183 families have a happier holiday. Instead of asking sponsors to shop for gifts, UCHM is asking for $125 donations to sponsor a child. The donations will be used to purchase retail and grocery gift cards to provide a child's gifts and food for the holidays. Gift cards allow families to prioritize their needs, as well as give them the dignity of providing for their family as they see fit.
If you are unable to donate the full $125 to sponsor a child, you are still invited to support Christmas Connection. Any amount is meaningful. Donations can be made online through PayPal at
https://www.uchmlouky.org/christmas-connection-sponsorship-sign-up/ or by sending checks to United Crescent Hill Ministries, 150 State St., Louisville KY 40206. Questions about Christmas Connection can be directed to

Another way we can support UCHM is by providing a snack for the participants in UCHM’s Seniors’ activities. Our congregation is being asked to provide 25-30 packaged breakfast pastries or muffins once a month. If you can help with this, please contact
