Christmas Manna is a long-standing, much-loved Chapelwood tradition of matching families lacking the resources to buy Christmas toys, new clothes, and "extras" for their children with those willing to share some Christmas blessings. The program blesses the excited children, generous givers, and grateful parents who can breathe a little easier and smile a little brighter watching their children unwrap the tangible and intangible gifts of Christmas. The families are selected by the Communities on Schools managers at the SBISD schools.  These counselors work regularly with the families and know who is in need of an extra blessing during Christmas.

The list of families available to be sponsored will be published here on November 11.

We need donations to cover the costs of the Christmas Elves that shopped, wrapped, and delivered presents to the community.

Also, you can stop by the tables in the Parlor between services on Sunday, November 17 and 24, December 1 and 8 to choose your family. You will be given contact information for reaching out to the family directly and coordinating gift delivery in December, as well as contact information for a CIS counselor who knows the family in case of any specific questions.
