Looking for meaningful Christmas gifts that share God's love and make a lasting difference? The 2026 ELCA Good Gifts catalog is here, offering more than 60 ways to honor friends and loved ones while supporting people and communities in need.
Instead of another traditional present, consider a gift that helps a family overcome hunger, provides clean water, supports children's health and education, or helps a community recover from disaster.
There's something for nearly every budget, including:
$10 – Ten chicks to help a family build a sustainable livelihood.
$20 – Honeybees to support farming families.
$30 – Vaccinations for a child.
$50 – A goat to help a family with food and income.
$100 – A disaster preparedness kit.
New gift options for 2026 include disaster preparedness training, special animal gift combinations, support for children's health and classrooms, and communion supplies for new ministries.
Give in honor of someone special! After selecting your gift, you can mail, print, or email a personalized card to let your recipient know about the difference their gift will make.
ELCA Good Gifts also makes a wonderful Advent or Christmas project for congregations, Sunday school classes, youth groups, and families. Consider hosting an alternative gift fair or inviting your congregation to choose gifts together.
These gifts support ELCA ministries working with communities in more than 80 countries, putting generosity into action through long-term partnerships.
This Christmas, give a gift that goes beyond the wrapping paper — one that shares hope, compassion, and God's love with neighbors near and far.
The 2026 ELCA catalog confirms more than 60 giving options, and the online store lists current gifts, prices, and card options.
