Christmas Store
Update: Our Christmas Store is no longer taken applications for families seeking assistance. All open appointments are already spoken for. We are still taking donations and volunteers!
The Christmas Store, located in the Xavier Building, 1435 N. Illinois Street, will open December 1. More than 900 needy families will receive Christmas gifts for their children. Donations of time, gifts and money help bring a brighter Christmas season for these families in need. In many cases, the gifts provided by the Christmas Store will be the ONLY Christmas items these families will receive.
