Join us for a fun-filled day on December 9th at the South Street Christmas Store! There will be gift wrapping, cookie decorating, and the South Street Youth shopping for their families in preparation for Christmas Day.
Please consider donating to our $2,000 #GivingTuesday campaign to help fund our Christmas Store!
We’d welcome your support, service, and generosity for this event!
GIVE
Every year the South Street staff goes shopping to fill out the Christmas store beyond what is donated – they work tirelessly to ensure the Christmas Store is a place of joy and delight. But we need your help to make it even more special.
This #GivingTuesday, we aim to raise $2,000 for our Christmas Store Fund, ensuring every child and family can experience the joy of giving.
