Thank you for joining us for our 15th annual A Christmas to Remember event.

We had such an amazing turnout this year and our volunteers are some of the absolute best!

​

Although our event has concluded for 2021, you can rest assured that we are already hard at work planning our next event.

​

The past two years have been a challenge, to say the least. Converting our event from an indoor event to an outdoor one took a lot of creativity, planning, and determination...but it was well worth the time and effort.

Although COVID has packed a punch on our world and caused many changes to our way of life, it has also caused us to stop and re-examine what we do, how we do it...and why!

It has done the same for us!

​

Many of the changes that we have made over the past two years will now be implemented into our indoor event making it even better than before.

Thank you once again for joining us...we look forward to seeing you in 2022.

Welcome to

"A Christmas to Remember"

A Christmas gift program unlike any other!

​

Opening our door in 2006, A Christmas to Remember was created as a ministry

to help ease the stress for under-resourced families at Christmas time.

Over the past 15 years, we have provided gifts for hundreds of families in our community. But we haven't done it alone.

It is through the efforts and generosity of local businesses, individuals, and volunteers, that we can proudly say "We have never had to turn a family away."

 What makes our program so special?

Our program is not a wish list program...it is an entire morning of shopping, gift wrapping, Christmas music, snacks, and more...and the shoppers are...

CHILDREN...ages 1st-6th grade.

​

When children arrive, they will shop rows and rows of gifts in search of the perfect gift for EACH member of their family...an opportunity that many children have never experienced.

​

Gifts will be wrapped, tagged, and bagged and then sent home to be placed under their tree for Christmas morning.

​

Each child will also receive a gift of their very own. Selected by a sibling or one of our many volunteers.

How Do We Select Families?

We don't!

​

We leave that to the professionals...The school counselors, caseworkers, program directors, and social workers. After all, who knows their kids better than they do?

​

Each child/family is recommended...and registered online by their school counselor, program director, or social worker. 

​

To make sure that all children have been accounted for, we double-check our list of children with each school counselor, program director, or social worker before shopping day.
