Helping our community come together to lift up those who could use a hand.

Don't mind us just over here breaking records...as of end of day Wednesday we have served 259 children for Christmas (our total number from 2024), and we are booked solid for the next few days. We are projecting to serve nearly 400 children this year.

Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and donors that make this mission such a success!

Drumroll Please....

So far the 2025 Union Mills Community Christmas program has served 151 children - over the first 5 days.

Looking forward to helping the 110 more kiddos that we currently have scheduled over the next 9 days.

❄️🎁 We beat the snowstorm and conquered some serious Black Friday shopping for Christmas 2025!

If you donated to the 2025 Christmas Project — THANK YOU. Your generosity made it possible for us to load up on the essentials and the fun stuff: socks, pajamas, underwear, hygiene items, coats, boots, and of course… PRESENTS!

After our setup on Saturday, we’ll have a better idea of any remaining needs. We’ll also keep a few folks “on call” throughout the season in case additional items are needed as families shop.

This project takes an incredible amount of behind-the-scenes work each year — and it truly is an act of love. But the financial support you all pour out is just as meaningful. We know the sacrifice it takes, and we are deeply grateful. 💙

Don’t forget:
📦 Setup Day is this Saturday at 10 AM
📍 Union Mills Church’s Multipurpose Building

Come out, see how the program works, and jump in for some hands-on volunteering. We’d love to have you!

Union Mills Community Christmas 2025 will begin scheduling appointments on DECEMBER 1st.

Appointments will be scheduled between December 8th-December 21st.

If you'd like to be involved we are looking for individuals to help us shop, and will be looking for volunteers to help set-up the store on Saturday, December 6th.

✨ Update from Mills on Market ✨

While construction has taken a little longer than we first hoped, we are still right on track to open our doors this year! 🛠️💛

We’re taking the extra time to make sure our storefront is safe, secure, and built to serve our community for years to come. Every brick, every nail, every coat of paint is part of creating a space filled with dignity and hope.

Thank you for cheering us on and walking with us in this journey. The countdown to opening is on—and we cannot wait to welcome you inside!

If you have questions for us don't hesitate to reach out - you can message us here, by phone, drop us a letter or speak to one of our fabulous board members or volunteers when you see them around!

Legacy Sponsors are the foundation of Mills on Market—helping cover the unseen costs like insurance, taxes, and utilities so 100% of thrift store sales go right back into community projects.

A pledge of $100–$1,000 per year for 3 years puts your name, business, or tribute on our donor wall—and your generosity into action for years to come.

🏛 Become a Legacy Sponsor
Help Us Launch our new shop – and Keep It Going Strong

Union Mills Community Closet is seeking committed community partners to become Legacy Sponsors as we work to open our storefront in New Sharon.

By pledging an annual gift of $100 to $1,000 for three years, you’ll help us build a strong financial foundation. In recognition of your generosity, Legacy Sponsors will be honored with a personalized plaque on our donor wall—featuring your name, family name, business, or a tribute in memory of a loved one.

Your support covers essential long-term expenses like insurance, taxes, and utilities, allowing 100% of our thrift store sales to go directly toward clothing families, funding seasonal outreach, and meeting needs right here at home—year after year.

Together, we can launch something that lasts.

Ready to Make Your Legacy Gift?
Here are a few things to consider:

You may give annually or fulfill your total three-year commitment as a one-time gift.

Payments can be made via Venmo, PayPal, or check. Please include a note or memo indicating “Legacy Donor.”

We will follow up with you to confirm the correct name, business, or dedication to be displayed on your plaque.
