It’s that time of year for us to gear up for our 2026 Christmas Market where parents can **shop for their own children** and experience the joy of providing Christmas gifts with dignity.

For just **$75, you can help provide one child with:**

🎁 2 beautiful larger gifts
🎁 2 stocking stuffers

❤️ And a Christmas experience their family will remember

Parents shop our store filled with brand-new gifts, then work alongside volunteers to wrap them while their children enjoy our Santa Room.

🌱 **30 Years of Vision. 30 Years of Impact.**

As we celebrate **InnerMission’s 30th anniversary**, we honor the two people whose faith, compassion, and willingness to say “yes” started it all—**Dr. J & Vicki Calaway.**

Thirty years ago, they planted a seed: a vision to walk alongside families with dignity, practical help, relationship, and hope—helping people move from **surviving to thriving.**

Today, that seed continues to bear fruit in the lives of families throughout our community. ❤️

As we honor their legacy, we’re also looking toward the next 30 years through our **Seeds of Hope Campaign**.

🌱 **Our goal: 1,000 people giving $10 or more each month.**

Together, these small seeds can create a strong foundation to continue this work and reach even more families.

**Will you help us carry the legacy forward and become a Seeds of Hope monthly partner?**

Thank you, **Dr. J & Vicki**, for planting the seed 30 years ago. We are so grateful for the legacy you began.💚
