October 26 and November 2 we will be collecting new toys for the Community Christmas Store in December.
What is Community Christmas?
Community Christmas is a weekend shopping experience held each December dedicated to celebrating the dignity and worth of everyone who participates. With kids’ activities and holiday treats, it’s so much more than just shopping. It’s a great opportunity to build relationships in our city. People who participate with one of our partner organizations have the opportunity to earn “Christmas Cash” throughout the year, and anyone who has earned “Christmas Cash” can shop in the community Christmas store in December.
