The holidays will be here before you know it and we want to put smiles on the faces of kids in our community that might not otherwise have a bright holiday. We’re doing a Holiday Shopping event where parents and guardians can come and select gifts for each of their kiddos. We’re also collecting food that we don’t normally carry regularly. We’re estimating at least 800 kids will be shopped for, so the need is very real!
We’ll be collecting now through December 10th, with shopping dates for our patrons in the middle of December.
- Organize a Drive to Collect Items: are you a business or group that can organize a drive to collect the items on our list? Email Nikki Kuhlman.
- Donate Items as an Individual: start buying items off our Holiday Idea List 2025, and we’ll be having drop off dates through November and December .
- Donate Money: can’t shop but what to help? DONATE so that we can purchase the things we need to make more kids happy.
- Shop Our Wish Lists: you can shop our AMAZON WISH LIST (items are shipped to board vice president, Chuck Bumbales). or our WALMART WISH LIST (items go to board president, Nikki Kuhlman).
- Share with Your Friends: help us get the word out by sharing this page with all your friends.
Drop-off times will be at the Outreach Center (21 Washington Street, Carpentersville)
