Project Bethlehem
Project Bethlehem is Lazarus House Ministries’ Annual Christmas Giving Program that has provided the Light of Christmas to hundreds of families facing challenging times for over 30 years.
Project Bethlehem offers Christmas “angels” an opportunity to provide personalized Christmas joy for families in need. Thanks to our generous sponsors, this remarkable Christmas program supported over 765 families – almost 3,400 – people in 2022!
Our Christmas sponsors are the key to the success of this program. They ensure that families in need receive the blessing of being cared for and appreciated as important members of our community.
Sponsors select a family size they would like to support and purchase toys, games, and gift cards from the family’s wish list. These wrapped gifts are delivered to Lazarus House which is the conduit of donors’ goodness and generosity.
We invite you to check back this fall for more information and to sign up to be a Project Bethlehem 2023 Christmas sponsor.
