Since 2008, hundreds of children in St. Charles have been given the gift of Christmas through the Serve St. Charles Christmas Store. Serve St. Charles is a local nonprofit that works closely with school counselors and social workers to identify families with the greatest need. The goal is to give parents a strong sense of pride and dignity as they personally select and purchase new gifts for their kids at greatly reduced prices allowing them to celebrate Christmas without going into financial hardship. Check out the links below for ways you can help this year’s store!

• Purchase toys off the Serve St. Charles Amazon Wishlist that will be sent directly to the Christmas Store location.

• Purchase Serve St. Charles merchandise to help promote the organization.

• Donate directly to Serve St. Charles so they can buy the toys that are most needed.

• If you would like to help with setting up the week before or running the store, fill out the initial volunteer form, and Serve St. Charles will email you details later in the month.
