We are a 501-C charity organization that provides holiday gifts for low-income families in Johnson Co, Ks.
Originally started in 1960 as an ” adopt-a-family” clearinghouse, our volunteers later changed the concept to a holiday shop where our clients can shop for and choose the gifts for their families.
Last year we served over 2500 families at our annual shop.
This requires a committment by many volunteers who shop
year-round for items for our families to choose.
Each family receives groceries collected from school drives, personal care items, children’s clothing, hats, underwear, gloves and socks for all family members, toys, gifts and books. All items at our holiday shop are new, with the exception of used coats and books. The shop is held in a donated space each year, and lasts 2 weeks, with 5 days to set-up, and 9 days of shopping.
This is all accomplished with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
This year’s shop will be December 4th – 12th. We still need
volunteers, and donations for various departments.
Would you like to be a part of our holiday giving?
Check out our wish list at www.jccb.org.
I’ll keep everyone updated on what’s going on this year.
Thanks, Barb O’D
