Since 2008, Serve St. Charles has hosted the Christmas Store to give families in need an opportunity to afford massively discounted Christmas gifts for their children. This year’s store will be on Dec 12. There are so many ways you can help!

• First we have set up a Go Fund Me page called 350@$35 to collect donations. Why 350@$35? We traditionally serve between 300 and 350 children each year at the Christmas Store, referred by the counselors and social workers in our district. We believe that our community need will grow this Christmas Season, but we feel confident that 350 giving units donating $35 will give us a firm foundation for the 2020 Store!

• Or we have an Amazon Wish List set up if you would like to purchase toys for the store. Ordering off the wish list will send the toys directly to the Christmas Store location.

• Due to concerns about COVID-19 volunteering at the Christmas Store may look a little different this year. If you are interested in finding out more, please email Julie Novak (ServeSt.Charles@gmail.com).
