COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS SHOPPE
THE LARGEST TOY GIVE AWAY IN VENTURA COUNTY.
Community Christmas Shoppe is a holiday tradition in Ventura County. This event serves under-resourced families by providing toys for Christmas. We partner with local social service agencies to find families otherwise unable to afford Christmas presents for their children and invite them to “shop” for toys at no personal cost. While Community Christmas Shoppe is a fun and festive event for the whole family, our true mission is to provide families with a community of support that will outlast the holiday season.
Five Christmas Shoppe are located throughout Ventura County. Conejo Valley, Simi Valley, Oxnard and Ventura host shoppes for the community, while Westlake Village hosts a special shoppe for families with disabled children.
LOVING FAMILIES
Each year, 2,000 families are served through a Christmas Shoppe. Families are given tickets to attend through local social services agencies, schools, and churches.
GIVING GIFTS
Nearly 15,000 gifts are given away each year at our five shoppes. Parents can shop for gifts with their child’s wishes in mind, with a selection of items ranging from bicycles to books!
CREATING COMMUNITY
Hundreds of volunteers join in making this a fun and festive event for the families we serve! Volunteers assist with everything from helping families select toys, gift wrapping and more.
BUILDING SUPPORT
Families that come to a shoppe are assisted by volunteers that get to know them, pray with them, and help them connect to a church or a social service agency.
