The Grace Care Center will soon bring back its annual Christmas Store, open this year from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 21 and 22, at 5504 E. 146th St., Noblesville.
This store is created to help local families find gifts during the holiday season. Last year, the Christmas Store provided over 10,000 gifts and served more than 1,000 families, and we’re hoping to reach even more families this year.
How it works
The Christmas Store is different from other holiday donation initiatives. Instead of receiving pre-selected gifts, families “shop” for gifts at no cost. This allows parents to pick out items that are just right for their kids and teens, making the experience even more meaningful. Families can make reservations in advance and then come to browse through a variety of toys, clothes, and household items, just like a regular store.
How the community can help
We rely on support from our community to make the Christmas Store happen, and there are a couple of easy ways to get involved:
- Donate to “Purchase” Gifts: You can donate through our online store, where funds go directly toward a specific gift for the Christmas Store. Every donation helps make sure that there’s a variety of items available for families to choose between.
- Choose “Shop for Me”: If you want a quick and easy way to help, there is also a “Shop for Me” option. This is where you can choose a donation amount, and we’ll use it to buy the most-needed items for the store. Every little bit helps keep the shelves stocked and the experience enjoyable for families.
Why we do it
For us, the Christmas Store is more than just a way to give out gifts. It’s about offering families a welcoming, respectful experience that lets them celebrate the holidays in their own way.
