Sponsor a Child - Anchored Ministries

We couldn’t do this without you!

Thank you for your interest in sponsoring a child through the Anchored Ministries Christmas Program! Your generosity will bring joy to hundreds of children in the Twin Valley School District this Christmas, showing them they are loved and cherished.

To ensure that we serve families who need it most, children must meet certain criteria to be part of our program. Typically, families qualify based on financial need and are identified in partnership with local schools and community organizations. This helps us focus our resources on those who would most benefit from additional support during the holiday season.

Our program is unique in that it allows families to be part of the Christmas joy. At our special one-day event, parents and guardians receive the gifts you’ve provided, wrap them, and shop for stocking stuffers. They’ll also enjoy a meal and have the opportunity to send a thank-you note to their sponsor.

Both ways below will provide you with info on the child that includes their age, clothing sizes, wants, needs, wears, along with any special details from their parent or guardian.

How the Process Works

Suggested Spend Amount

The amount you spend is up to you, though we suggest around $100-$125. You’re welcome to include a family or parent gift if you feel led to do so.
If you can’t shop but still want to help, consider donating a gift card (Walmart, Target, Amazon, Visa) for families not matched with a sponsor.

What to purchase

We recommend purchasing at least one “want,” one “need,” and one “wear” from the wish list. If the specific items aren’t available, use the list as inspiration for what the child might enjoy

How to package it

Please place unwrapped gifts in a large single bag and clearly label it with your name or wish list number. Gift receipts for clothing are helpful.

How to drop it off

Drop off the gifts at Anchored Ministries, 40 South Chestnut St., Elverson, on or before December 4th. Drop-off hours are Monday through Thursday, 9am to 12 pm. Additional drop-off hours for December 1st through December 4th only, are 6pm to 8pm, in addition to the morning drop-off hours. If any of these times don’t work for you, please contact us to make other arrangements.

Feel free to look through the entirety of the program details and read through our FAQs. If you have any questions, feel free to text, call, or email us at contact@anchoredministries.org or 484-525-0803.
