The Children's Christmas Store 1999
Each year at Central, children from local community agencies as well as children from our own church family are invited to participate in the Children's Christmas Store. They are greeted at the door and assigned their own personal shopper (mom and dad get to wait in a special area so they can't see what special gifts the children pick out). The children then have their photo taken with Santa and shop for members of their family. They pay for their gifts ($1.00 each) and then volunteers help them box, wrap and tag them. When they finish, they join their parents for some holiday refreshments. Everyone looks forward to this annual multi-generational event.
