Box of Love serves to bless families in our local community by providing a Thanksgiving meal.
As one of our largest outreaches of the year, Box of Love is an opportunity to serve our neighbors and form relationships with one another.
Each box will be filled with all the ingredients needed to prepare a nourishing Thanksgiving dinner for an entire family, and will be delivered to families in our church, neighborhoods, workplaces, several local schools, and the Relief Nursery.
Box of Love preparation begins in October and continues through the end of November. Then throughout the day on Saturday, November 18, we will assemble and pack the boxes, and deliver them to Briggs, Cal Young, Relief Nursery, and families in the greater Eugene/Springfield area.
Get Involved
Box of Love couldn’t happen without your help and support. There are many ways you can get involved with our largest outreach of the year:
Give Financially
Each box costs around $70 to prepare and includes a turkey, stuffing, veggies, sparkling cider, and a pumpkin pie. You can give online, at a gathering, or at the Ekklesia Office and specify “Box of Love” in the memo line.
