Every year, Of One Accord Ministry provides Christmas assistance to children in need
through the Christmas for the Children (CFTC) program. Children ages 0 to 17 years who are registered
for the CFTC will have their specific Christmas wishes listed on Shopper Sheet tags, which are
"adopted" and fulfilled by community members, churches, and organizations. To streamline the
application process, CFTC applications (for Hawkins and Hancock County residents) can be completed online.
Once the application is submitted electronically, Of One Accord Ministry staff will review and
consider the application for approval. If the application meets the eligibility criteria list below,
Of One Accord Ministry staff will contact the applicant via email, text, phone, or mail with more
instructions for participating in the CFTC program.
If you wish to apply for CFTC assistance, please sign up for an account on this website.
