Christmas Partnerships

Christmas Store
The Christmas Store is a partnership of churches, organizations, and individuals throughout Cincinnati who work together to give parents, who could not otherwise do so, the chance to provide Christmas presents for their children at a price they can afford. View the Christmas Store Shopping Guide if you'd like to donate new toys or clothing to the Store.

City Gospel Mission coordinates the efforts of the partners to collect donations, locate families in need, and provide volunteers.

Partner churches distribute registration forms to parents in need of help. Parents pay a nominal per child fee. They are asked to pay for the gifts so that they are the ones who provide for their children and have the dignity of ownership.

Parents shop at set times - they select a new toy and clothing item for each child and can wrap their presents at the Store.

For more information about the Christmas Store, please contact Angela Allen at aallen@citygospelmission.org or (513) 345-1021. To volunteer or donate Christmas gifts, please click here.

Christmas Boutique
The Christmas Boutique desires to share the love of Christ with senior women who might otherwise be overlooked at Christmas. Each year over one hundred women are invited to celebrate the birth of Our Lord with music, devotions, brunch, games and delightful gifts which they select for themselves.

If you would like to help with our celebration, there are many ways to get involved. Learn more about how you can volunteer or donate Christmas gifts. Please contact Paula New at paula.new@gmail.com or (513) 683-0625 for more information.
