Caring at Christmas brings joy to our neighbors all year long!

You can bring joy to our neighborhood families this Christmas through the Shepherd Christmas Store. Every year, we support our neighborhood families by giving them the opportunity to shop for gifts at the Shepherd Christmas Store so that they can show their kids how much they care and make Christmas a season of joy and hope!

 

Each year, Shepherd relies on generous donations to supply the annual Christmas Store. Businesses and churches can host a toy drive at their location and fill up their boxes with toys. Toys are then picked up and sorted by volunteers in preparation for the Christmas Store. Learn more about hosting a toy drive. 

 

Individuals can also donate new, unwrapped toys to Shepherd. Below are links to our Target and Amazon wish lists. You can purchase items from these lists and send them directly to Shepherd. Also, you can always drop new and unwrapped toys off at Shepherd! Please drop off all donations by Monday, December 16.

Christmas Store Dates 2024:

Christmas Toy Drive: November 1 – December 16
Christmas Store: December 18, 19 & 20
Christmas Store Tear Down: December 20 (afternoon)

Not one for buying toys? Can’t volunteer? You can make a simple cash donation to Shepherd to be used to serve our Shepherd neighbors in other ways this holiday season.

Volunteer. Give Toys. Donate. No matter how you give, you can bring the joy of Christmas to neighbors all year long!
