The Sampsons Christmas Food Drive
The Sampsons are involved in dozens of mission projects every year. The single biggest thing we do every year is our, “Sampson Christmas Food Drive.”
This food drive benefits thousands of people each Christmas, including our disabeled veterans, the homeless in and around Chicago, battered women’s shelters, our rescue missions, a rape crisis center, a childrens home, and hundreds of hurting families all throughout the Chicagoland/NW Indiana region.
Jude 1:22 says, “And of some have compassion, making a difference.”
It’s our desire to love people who simply need a little help each Christmas.
