This service will be in-person only.

Holiday dignity shop for project home

What is a Dignity Shop? Instead of deciding for parents what their children might like or need, we let the parents choose 2-3 items per child. They can choose to wrap the gifts or leave them unwrapped and give their children the gifts whenever they choose to celebrate.
To make this effort successful, we need volunteers to organize the Holiday Dignity Shop, help parents shop and wrap gifts, and work with the children on holiday crafts and activities while parents are shopping.

New Toy/Gift Donations Accepted through December 16th. We do not have any specific toy or gift suggestions. Please remember that we serve a diverse group of families, children range in age from 0-18, we do not accept toy weapons, and we'd prefer gifts to be in the $15-25 range.

Messiah will have a gift collection box in the front entryway DEC 1 - DEC 15.
