Our local church is encouraging us to focus this Holiday Season on something beyond our own family, and to give to those in need this CHRISTmas. They are specifically encouraging us to give to two specific charities here in the North Alabama area: the 8th Street Group Home and our local Prison Ministry, and to focus on a worldwide effort, the Advent Conspiracy.
To help your pennies stretch further as you give this Christmas, here's a list of the best prices we could find on items that these programs are looking for requesting. While you may be giving to other charities this Holiday season, I'm betting a few of the items listed will be things that you may need to find a deal on too! Remember you can always find the best prices on donation deals this Christmas under the Holiday Food Box Tab at the top of the page.

A huge thanks to my friend Shannon for compiling this list (and for her amazing heart for giving!) Thanks, Shannon!
I LOVE the Advent Conspiracy movement. I’m an Episcopal priest in Huntsville and have grown to really dslike working in Advent and Christmas b/c people in the pews are so distracted with grocery lists, obligatory presents to buy and just plain “surviving” Christmas. Thank you for pointing people to their website and helping us bring back Christmas.
Love that Allison! I have to admit I struggle so much with keeping mindful of what’s important this Christmas, so I love that the Advent Conspiracy reminds me that there are people in the world who don’t even have water (much less the eight jillion gifts that we buy each Christmas!) Thanks so much for sharing, and for reminding me of what I also look like in the pews as I’m so anxious about all there is to do. (Ughhhh!!!)
Thanks for the list. I have been wondering where to donate some of these items. Do we just drop them at Asbury?
Yes – I’d just drop them off at the desk in the front office Candie. Glad it helps! 🙂
