Affordable Christmas
Affordable Christmas serves the families in the Jacobsville neighborhood. The program aims to help families provide quality Christmas gifts, ensuring a Merry Christmas for all. DCE, in partnership with so many generous agencies and supporters like you, collects gifts throughout the holiday season. These gifts are valued at $25 – $50 each and then sold back to our parents at a nominal price. This allows our parents to feel empowered to choose their own children’s gifts.
In 2024, we had the privilege of serving more than 300 children through the Affordable Christmas program. The incredible generosity of our community truly transformed the lives of families in Jacobsville during the holiday season. This year, we aim to make an even greater impact! The DCE team is excited to collaborate with you, and we sincerely appreciate your support in uplifting our children, families, and neighbors.
There are several ways to support this initiative! One is to host a toy drive at your church, organization, place of work, etc. Two other ways are to financially contribute to Affordable Christmas, or you can buy directly from our Amazon wishlist.
