We work year-round to make this project happen! We host toy, food, bike, and Bible drives throughout the year. We also raise money through various fundraisers.

Our largest fundraiser for this project, held every October, is called “The Great 28.” We ask for 28 people to donate $365 and thereby become a superhero for a local needy kid and their family.

Through all these efforts, we provide a Christmas for thousands of local needy people. Hundreds of volunteers gather on the Saturday morning before Christmas to distribute an uncooked Christmas meal, toys, bikes, and Bibles to their “route” of needy families. Each volunteer group delivers to roughly 3-6 families that morning. Lots of effort goes in behind the scenes to make this massive project happen such as obtaining the items given, finding volunteers, contacting families, coordinating routes, choosing/boxing up toys, praying over Bibles, and much more!

We absolutely could not put this project on without:

  1. God’s touch and
  2. a faithful community who works alongside us to pray and donate in their time, talents, and treasures!

God truly amazes us as He pours out His blessings this time of the year!

All our toys are collected and distributed in memory of Brady Sizemore. Brady was an extra special young man who died unexpectedly in 2016 at the age of 13. He was a seventh-grade student at Gentry Middle School in Surry County, North Carolina. He was always smiling and ready to greet people with a hug. He dreamed of serving in the U.S. Marines and took very opportunity to shake the hand of any person in uniform!

Brady is remembered as being someone who truly esteemed others higher than himself. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and actively sought out ways to put a smile on hurting faces. This world needs more people like Brady! His memory lives on through all that we do at MTM as we do the work that he’d be doing if he were here. His stepdad and mom, Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Nicole Atkins, are a huge part of all that we do here at MTM!
