What is The Free Christmas Shop: If you haven’t heard about it from previous years, we are a "shop" for local families who may be struggling to provide Christmas gifts. Our goal is that each family walks away with at least one new gift, and a jacket to keep them warm. However, we have been fortunate enough, in previous years, to provide much more than that (toiletries, stockings, gently used toys, blankets and baby care). The event is held downtown at 1019 Meares Street. We take pride knowing that our hard work goes to our LOCAL children in need. This year we will be hosting the Free Christmas Shop on December 14th, 2024.

Items we normally collect at our donation stations:

- New and gently used jackets

- New and gently used toys (for young infants all the way up to teenagers)

- Toiletries

- Hats and gloves

- Stockings and stocking stuffers

- Christmas wrapping paper/ gift bags

- Presents for parents (we allow kids to choose and wrap a gift for their parent so that they get to participate in the gift of giving)

Walking club provides students that arrive before the bell rings an opportunity to walk laps before school starts. It’s a great way to get energy out and visit with friends before the school day starts. A key component to walking club is parent volunteers! Are you an early bird and you are looking for a great way to get involved at school and get to know your child’s peers? Being a walking club volunteer is a great way to be involved in the Masonboro community! If you are interested in learning more, please email Amber Beard at alt3122@gmail.com.
