The Giving Tree is our annual tradition of providing Christmas gifts for families in need throughout San Diego. Since 2008, Flood Church has collected thousands of Christmas gifts that benefit individuals in need, identified by our partnerships with local organizations (see below). Thank you for joining us in providing Christmas gifts for those in need!
How it works:
PICK UP a Christmas ornament from the Giving Tree at church beginning November 24th, 2024 OR choose items from the list below.
PURCHASE the items on the tag (or below) and BRING the gifts back (with their tag) to Flood by Sunday, December 8th or 15th (Follow specific instructions on each tag). Flood Benevolence gift cards can be returned anytime through Dec 24th.
If you are unable to join us in person, feel free to donate to our partners directly.
