The Christmas Fund for the Veterans of the Cross
and the Emergency Fund

“Good news. . . Great joy. . . All the people!” Luke 2:10
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees.

United Church of Christ congregations and members have blessed the Christmas Fund with their generosity for many years. This year, your care and compassion will be especially appreciated by those servants of the church who are facing a time of need. Thank you!
Dayton Disaster Relief Underway in the New Year:
Accepting Volunteers Now!

A tornado outbreak in May 2019 damaged thousands of homes in the greater Dayton, OH area. The Disciples of Christ agency for relief funding, Week of Compassion, is working with the Miami Valley Long Term Recovery Operations Groups on an innovative collaboration called the Tornado Survivors’ Pathways to Homeownership, which helps families displaced from tornado-damaged rental housing become first-time homeowners. In partnership with the Ohio Disciples Region, the Heartland Conference of the United Church of Christ Disaster Relief Network, UCC Disaster Ministries, and DOC Week of Compassion, volunteer teams of 4-10 people are gladly welcomed Jan 9-April 2, 2022 to finish interiors of new homes. Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older (mixed age groups must have 1 adult for every 4 volunteers under 18).
