🎄 WE WANT TO BRING BACK OUR FREE KIDS' CHRISTMAS MARKET — BUT WE NEED YOU! 🎁
Last year, Mission 31 opened its doors for a special Christmas experience. Children came to shop for gifts for the people they love, choosing something just right for Mom, Dad, grandparents, siblings, and others who mean so much to them.
And the best part? Everything was FREE!
We watched children experience the joy of GIVING, not just receiving. And we'd love to make that happen again!
❤️ Our hope is to bring the Kids' Christmas Market back on Saturday, December 12th! But we can't do it without our community.
Here's where YOU come in!
🎁 WE NEED DONATIONS!
Help us fill our little Christmas store! We're collecting new and gently used items that children can choose as gifts for their loved ones. We also need gift bags, wrapping paper, tape, and other wrapping supplies.
🙌 WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
There are so many ways to help!
- Sort and organize donated items before the event.
- Help children shop and choose meaningful gifts.
- Wrap gifts so they're ready to go under the tree.
- Help set up and clean up.
You don't have to do it all. Even giving a couple of hours can make a difference!
🎄 WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Because Christmas isn't just about what we receive. It's about the love we share.
We want children to experience the excitement of picking out a gift, the thoughtfulness of choosing something special, and the joy of giving it to someone they love — regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
But here's the thing: This event will only happen if enough people step forward to make it possible.
📅 Proposed Date: Saturday, December 12th
📍 Location: Mission 31, 304 E. Wall St., Harrisonville
🎁 For children ages 12 and under
Can we count on you?
