Community Christmas

Community Christmas

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS IS A SHOPPING EXPERIENCE ABOUT CELEBRATING AND BRINGING OUR CITY TOGETHER.

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.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

Help stock the Community Christmas store. Purchase a gift from the suggested gift list and leave it in a designated drop box. It takes more than 2,500 new gift items to stock the store! People from all over our city also volunteer to staff the Community Christmas store. From set up to baking to gift wrapping, there is something for everyone!
