Nov 1st - Christmas Day
Couldn't be easier to donate a book or two! Purchase books from our curated list of needed books, or select your own special book or books to donate.
The Chapel Hill Carrboro Foodie Group generously collects donations to support the purchase of grocery gift cards to help address food insecurity. Git cards are distributed to families at the Christmas House event.
Support Christmas House
Sadly, due to COVID-19, Christmas House did not place Wish Trees around town or collect toy donations last year, but THE EVENT WAS STILL A SUCCESS! This was thanks to the tremendous outpouring of donations from the community and local businesses who rallied behind our families in need. Thank you so much for your continued support!
In place of toys again this year, we will be giving away gift cards for each eligible child in each participating family household. Of course, we will continue to also distribute new books and a new coat to each child, as well. Your support is needed now more than ever so we can meet this demand. Thank you!

Donate a book or toy
MINIMAL EFFORT
Christmas House donors and volunteers collect, purchase, and sort thousands of new toys, books, and coats every year.
You can drop off a new, unwrapped gift at any one of our community Wish Trees located around town.
Host an office Wish Tree
MODERATE EFFORT
A Wish Tree is a festive holiday tree decorated with bear ornaments that describe the age of a child in need. Donors select a bear ornament, purchase a new book or toy, leave in the collection box by the tree.
Be one of the many local businesses hosting a community Wish Tree. You can find them in places like, Flyleaf Bookstore, Open Eye Cafe, Carr Mill Mall, University Place, and many more. Contact us for more details.
Host a home or office Toy Drive
FUN, MORE INVOLVED EFFORT
What better way to enjoy time during the holidays with family, friends, and co-workers than by collecting toys for children in need. It's a win-win for everyone!
Purchase toys from our Amazon Wish List
FUN, MINIMAL EFFORT

Please also shop using Amazon Smile and selecting Christmas House Inc. as the recipient of your donations. Directions here.
