Deodorant
Hand soap
Body soap/wash
Shampoo
Conditioner
Lotion/moisturizers
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste

Our final count is in. We had parents for 143 children come through to receive help from our Christmas Shop. We had such an abundance of items left over that we extended our open doors event to the next day. We had 214 people who were shopped for during the Open Doors event. That brings our total to 357 people who were given help for Christmas through our Christmas Shop. This is our largest number yet, and we cannot say thank you enough to those involved for the help and support we have received. We cannot attribute our success to anyone other than the community who has continuously showed up and supported us by donating and sharing our event.

Huge thank you to Coastal Response Center, South Bay Project, Community Center for allowing us to use their venue throughout the week to prepare and hold our event there. We would also like to thank Wee Exchange for the continuous support and donations they provide for our event. Thank you to Blue Rents Gulf Coast for their donation of tables that they provide for us to use. And thank you to the community who has been behind us 100% throughout our journey while we have brought this vision to fruition.

Registered families attend TOMORROW the 13th from 2:00-5:00 pm. Our open doors event tomorrow will be for those who did not register is from 5:00-6:30 pm. We have the wrong time listed on our registration page, so please be mindful of that. The open doors event is also available for those who registered but want to come back and shop without a bag limit.

If you did register, we will try to get to you today with a time to attend for our event tomorrow the 13th. If we don’t get in touch with you, just show up between the hours or 2 and 5. Please remember that our event cannot provide an entire Christmas for your family. We mainly have clothing this year and we will be giving premade gift bags that are tailored to the children you registered. We are trying different things each year to figure out what works best so please be patient with us as we work through any kinks tomorrow.

We appreciate everyone who has donated and helped. If anyone has any last minute toy donations, we will be accepting those today at the Coden Coastal response center.
