Hancock Church Mission Partners Holiday Fair 2021
If you are unable to attend the fair in person, you can still participate! We invite you to partake in this beloved 18-year-old Hancock Advent tradition in two ways:
1. Make gifts in honor of loved ones…
…to our mission partners and capture the true spirit of the season. All are doing important work in the world and helping people in need.
To make gifts, you can simply click on the links below and make donations directly through our partners’ websites.
If you prefer to write checks, we’ll take care of the mailing! Just write them directly to our mission partners, as their names appear below, and
- Place them in the plate on December 12
- OR drop them off at church during the week
- OR mail them to Church Office, Hancock Church, 1912 Mass. Ave., Lexington, MA 02421
We’ll combine your checks with others to the same recipient and mail them off. Checks must be received by December 15. This gives us time to mail them before the holidays, so our partners receive the funds soon, and so you can take a tax deduction for 2021. (All are 501(c)(3) organizations. You’ll receive acknowledgements directly from these organizations, not from Hancock).
Concord Prison Outreach
Food Link
Guiding Eyes for the Blind

If you’d like Hancock cards and envelopes to give loved ones, telling them of a donation you made in their honor, just email us at mission@hancockchurch.org, tell us how many you need, and we’ll drop them off or send them to you.
2. Participate in an online scavenger hunt…
…and learn about our mission partners! Find the answers to ten questions at our partners’ websites and be entered in a drawing; the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Lexington restaurant of their choice.
This is a fun project for the entire family. No more than one entry per household, please. (This is in addition to the in-person scavenger hunt at the fair, which is a separate hunt; you can enter both!)
