We assist over 1,000 central city households by allowing parents to select brand-new toys for free in a clean store-like atmosphere at Capuchin Community Services’ House of Peace site. We currently need Christmas presents for children ten years of age and under. Can you help us brighten a child’s life with a Christmas gift? In the picture to the right, Linda Barnes, Social Worker and Site Manager at the House of Peace assists a mom in choosing gifts for her children.
We prefer toys to be unwrapped and in gift bags—this way, our parents can easily find the perfect presents for their children. We aim for each child from birth to 10 years of age to receive an average of 3 gifts. That means we need over 3,000 gifts in total!
You can make a gift online below, order toys from our registries or download a flyer with suggestions here:
