The 6th Annual Free Christmas Shop - DEC 13 2025

Welcome to The Free Christmas Shop 2025! -- 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: Only ONE adult per household can register for a ticket.

Example: If two adults are shopping for the same children, they count as one household and should register for one ticket. Both adults are welcome to attend and shop together, but only one ticket will be provided for that household.

You will receive the number of gifts allotted for one household. This rule will be strictly enforced to ensure we have enough supplies for everyone. Please do not abuse the system - we want to make sure we are able to serve our entire community. Thank you!

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 SIXTH 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.
