Warm Up the Valley is a special community event where families in need can come to Creekside Church and “shop” for their Christmas. On Saturday, December 6th, families will find toys for kids, gifts for parents, winter gear, and all the essentials for a Christmas dinner. While parents shop, children can enjoy bouncy houses and hear the Christmas story in a fun, festive atmosphere.

We are inviting organizations from the community to extend invitations to their clients, whom they know to be in need around the holidays. Our current community partners include Set Free Alaska, Valley Oaks, and Alaska Youth and Family Network. If you would like to partner with Creekside, please help us by extending invitations to your clients. 

We have been collecting items for this event all year and now are just in need of warm clothing for all ages.  If you’d like to help, please bring your new and gently used winter clothing donations to the collection box at Creekside Church.

We also need non perishable food items for the Christmas dinner bags that we will give out at the event. Click the button below for a detailed list of items we need.
