Caring at Christmas brings hope to our neighbors all year long!
You can bring joy and hope 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 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 Wednesday, December 17.
