Christmas in July is Fifth Street Ministries’ largest fundraiser of the year and is designed to help the nonprofit get through the lean summer months when they typically receive less in the way of financial contributions and material donations.

Fifth Street Ministries’ staff and board hope you will consider supporting the nonprofit’s mission by sponsoring the event, by donating a product/service for the silent auction, by bidding on auction items, or by purchasing a meal. With your help, those who are hungry will have food to eat and those who are homeless will have a safe place to sleep.
