Why We Gather
Children’s Relief International partners with local leaders around the world to lift children and families out of poverty. The gifts raised on October 1 fuel that work directly—nourishing at-risk babies through Tessa Grace nutrition, sending kids to school through Child Sponsorship, building safe homes through Green Door, and walking alongside women, widows, and the elderly through Strength & Dignity and Project Life—plus training and sending missionaries to carry it all forward.
Night of Light is our biggest night of the year:
one dinner, one room, one shared goal of $200,000 to fund that work.
