As the holidays come around, Jen and I really enjoy putting our heads together to think of ‘the’ gift that will be really special to each of our 3 boys. We love the planning, the shopping and the wrapping too. And of course we love seeing those huge grins on Christmas morning.

It was this family tradition that inspired the Christmas Toy Store, a unique holiday event where former and current SFVRM parents ‘shop’ for gifts for their children, our volunteers wrap the gifts and families are then able to experience the joys of Christmas morning, complete with surprised faces and joyful laughter.

This holiday season, we invite you to join our family for the Christmas Toy Store. Consider donating new unwrapped toys for children 6 months to16 years, gift cards, wrapping essentials or your time! Perhaps you would consider holding a gift drive at your office. Whichever way you chose to brighten the holidays for our families, you are delivering miles of smiles.

Please contact Rebecca Wells at rwells@erescuemission.org to volunteer or to coordinate a gift drop-off.
