This year, the King of Kings Giving Tree is supporting five meaningful ministries! From local families to global neighbors, your generosity helps care for, serve, and share God’s love in countless ways. Opportunities include: Holiday Heroes ($25 gift cards for local families), Hypothermia Shelter (keeping neighbors warm), ELCA Good Gifts(supporting global hunger relief), Christmas Coalition (making Christmas special for local children), and ASP Mission Trip (helping rebuild homes in Appalachia this summer). Thank you for your continued support - your gifts make a real difference in our community and beyond. For more details, please see below.
Our newest edition to our Christmas Giving Tree is Christmas Coalition. Operated locally through this Girl Scouts of America, the wonderful organization partners with LCPS Dulles South Family Liaisons to purchase and donate Christmas items for local families and children. This year, KKDS is sponsoring two kids (ages 12 and 9), and purchasing clothes, toys, games, etc. on their behalf. If you would like to contribute, please grab an ornament off our tree or contact Niki Wolf.
The Parent Liaisons of the LCPS Dulles South Cluster are reaching out to local community partners to request assistance for students and their families during the 2025 holiday season. These are families experiencing economic hardship and need sponsors to help support them through the holidays. They are asking for $25 gift cards to stores such as Walmart, Amazon, Ross, Target, etc. The gift cards need to be purchased and delivered to Pr. Garrett by Sunday, December 14. Please consider purchasing a gift card to help support our local students, including those at Goshen Post E.S. Thank you for your generosity in advance.
Our Neighbor’s Child
Plans are under way for a 2026 Summer Mission Trip through a wonderful organization called, Appalachia Service Project. This Christian ministry inspires hope and service through volunteer home repair throughout Central Appalachia. The trip is open to ages 11+, including adults. Our dates are July 12-18, 2026. Your donation will help pay for the materials, meals, transportation, and lodging as we go to help this devastated area. Contact Pastor Garrett for more information.
King of Kings will once again host a week-long Hypothermia Shelter on January 25-31, 2026, for those experiencing homelessness. We are asking for donations of various items to help keep our neighbors warm including NEW: socks, underwear, large and extra-large briefs (the need is greatest for men), personal hygiene items or GENTLY USED: hats, gloves, scarves, coats and sweaters. Donations can be dropped off under our giving tree at Goshen Post. If you would like more information about the Hyperthermia Shelter, please contact Scott Garretson.
