Who are the care packages for?
The care packages are designed to share the love of Christ with aging adults who are hurting and their caregivers.
Can I personalize my care package?
Yes. Each care package includes a card with your personal message to the recipient. As available, we will include items with their favorite color and/or Bible verse. There is a place on the order form to share the difficulty that the aging adult or caregiver is experiencing. This helps us to include items that apply God’s Word of love to their need.
Can I send care packages as birthday or holiday gifts?
While we certainly appreciate your desire to send gifts to family and friends on special occasions, these care packages are not meant to be sent as gifts.
Can I send a care package to myself?
Our mission is to engage and equip aging adults to live full and abundant lives in Jesus Christ. The care packages are designed to give individuals a way to show an aged loved one going through a difficult time or their caregiver that they are cared for and loved by God. Therefore, our care packages are reserved for those who are sending one to an aged person in need or their caregiver.
I would like to order a care package but remain anonymous, is that possible?
Absolutely. As mentioned above, you decide what you would like your personal note to say.
I would like to send a care package to a homebound friend, but she is diabetic. Do you offer sugar free options?
We do. You can indicate on the order form if the recipient has any food restrictions or allergies that we need to take into consideration when choosing snack items for your box. We will do our best to follow these guidelines. However, the content of the box is subject to availability at the time of packing.
How much does it cost to send a care package?
We want everyone to be able to share the love of Christ with those who are hurting. When you place your order, you will be given the opportunity to give an optional donation in the amount of your choice to help cover the cost of you care package. Your generous donations make it possible for us to continue this ministry!
Can I order more than one care package at a time?
You may order more than one care package as long as each package is sent to an aging adult in need. You will need to submit a separate order form for each. You may also want to consider spacing out your orders. We may only be able to send one of them per week depending on availability.
My uncle is homebound, and my aunt is his full-time caregiver. Can I send them each a care package?
Due to the cost of shipping, we can only send one box per address. If more than one person in need lives at the address (for example, a husband and wife or caregiver and receiver), we will take that into consideration when packing the box and include items for both.
There is a much beloved lady in our congregation that recently lost her husband. What if more than one person orders a package for her?
In this case, we would send her the initial care package. We do not send more than one care package to an individual in order to reserve items for others who are in need. However, we would be happy to send a card with your personal note!
Can I donate items for the care packages?
Donations of items to go in the care packages are also appreciated. To help us manage our inventory and ensure that all donated items meet the requirements of shipping and the mission of the care ministry, we ask that you please make all donations through our gift registry by clicking here.

I would like to send a care package to someone who has recently experienced a loss. Do you offer anything special in their time of grief?
Yes. Through our Grief Ministry, those who have experienced a recently loss will receive care items at critical times during the initial year of bereavement, including a care package, handwritten notes and cards on special anniversaries and occasions, information on what to expect during the grieving process, and small comfort items.

Can I send a care package and enroll them in the Grief Ministry?
The Grief Ministry includes that initial care package so there is no need to complete both forms. Please visit the Grief Ministry website to complete that form.
