Helping Families Celebrate Christmas
Families served through Outreach Carol Stream are invited to shop for brand-new gifts for children from infancy through age 18. From baby toys to Kindles, headphones, and skateboards, parents can choose gifts their children will love at affordable prices, with complimentary gift wrapping for every purchase.

Stories From Shoppers and Volunteers.
Shopping at the Christmas Store did not feel like a handout. Paying made me feel better about my situation.
It was encouraging to see how Outreach supports families through programs beyond the Christmas Store.
