Evening in December…in a box!
We’ve packed each box with special care and filled it with everything you need to enjoy a cozy evening at home. It’s our hope that you can take a moment to slow down, grab a loved one to share it with and be reminded of hope as you unwrap each element of this divine evening together...
Consider how you might partner with Daystar this year and help offer hope to weary kids & families. Contribute to our 1.4 million dollar annual fundraising goal. Pray over the hearts of our staff and the kids receiving healing through counseling. Spread the word about the work of Daystar inside “the little yellow house that helps people.”
