The 5th Annual Free Christmas Shop - DEC 14 2024

Welcome to The Free Christmas Shop 2024! -- Ensuring no kid in our community goes without Christmas!

This is a donation based event. Registration is REQUIRED so that we can adequately prepare. SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED. Number of items received by participants will be limited!

* PLEASE NOTE: We will only allow ONE adult per household to register for this event. *

Example: Two adults shopping for the same kids are considered ONE household and will only receive ONE entry into the event. BOTH adults can come into the event and shop together, but you will only receive the number of gifts for ONE household. This WILL be strictly enforced to ensure we have enough supplies to go around.

In 2020, friends and community members joined together to ensure every child and family within reach had a joyful Christmas. The First Annual FREE Christmas Shop was created. The goal was to serve as many families as possible in the Cape Fear region. We were able to make sure that hundreds of families did not wake up to an empty Christmas tree. Families were able to choose toys for their children, gently used clothes and jackets, and children were able to pick a small gift for their parents so that they too would know the joy of giving on Christmas Day - at no cost to the families themselves.

This year, the FIFTH Annual FREE Christmas Shop elves have banded together with local nonprofit, MOMs Agency Inc. 501(c)(3). Combining our mission with theirs, we intend to be able to serve a larger demographic. If for any reason the FREE Christmas Shop has leftover resources, they will be donated to MOMs Agency Inc., their Ministry and Food Pantry.
