On Christmas morning, they can look in the eyes of their child with pride and say, “I picked this for you,” instead of feeling like it was just a handout. This makes parents the heroes of their child’s Christmas—not the donors or volunteers.
During the Christmas Store, parents or guardians can pick out their gifts, take them to the wrapping station, and grab a free treat and drink from our coffee shop while gifts are being wrapped.
Donations needed: NEW toys, games and children’s/teen’s shoes with min value of $15/item and max value of $75/item.
