Each year during the Christmas season, Birmingham Metro Baptist Association offers you, your church or group, ways to share hope with others.
Christmas stockings for Birmingham children
BMBA churches work with dozens of area service agencies to provide stockings full of gifts for underserved children in our community. We receive requests for thousands of stockings each year, and the requests always outnumber the donations. Help us change that this year!
If you choose to participate in Season of Our Savior, stockings should be approximately fifteen to eighteen inches long, and six to seven inches wide. They can be homemade or bought. You can fill them with snacks, candy, coloring books, crayons, or small toys (no nuts or fruit, please). They do not need to be elaborate. If a choice is to be made, use less expensive stockings and put more inside. Please attach a label (download/print sheet of four labels here) to the stocking specifying whether it is for a boy or girl. The BMBA will also be putting a small booklet in each stocking that shares the Good News in an age-appropriate manner. Our goal is to point these children and their parents to Jesus.
Also, note the age:
Birth-2 Years
Age 3-5
Grade 1-3
Grade 4-6
Teen
In addition to stockings, the BMBA also collects donations of hygiene kits. A list of suggested items for the hygiene kits is listed below.
