La Posada

Christmas Shoppe

Dear Teresita, 

We are incredibly grateful for your generous support in helping us transform La Tiendita into La Posada: The Christmas Shoppe at Beth-El! Thanks to your contributions of toys, gifts, and funds, we’re well on our way to creating a joyful, festive space where parents from our Nuevo Camino and Diaper Program communities can handpick special gifts for their children, ages 0-12.

Why It Matters 

Your support empowers parents with the gift of choice—honoring their dignity, fostering self-determination, and allowing them to experience the joy of selecting gifts for their children in a space that celebrates their role as caregivers.

What’s New? 

We’ve made some exciting updates to help you get involved: 

- Updated Wish List: We’ve added new gift ideas! 

- Amazon Shopping List: Shop online and have items shipped directly to us. 

- Updated Volunteer Hours: Volunteer shifts now run from 10:30AM to 2:30 PM. 

- Distribution Dates and Time: Families will “shop” at La Posada from 11AM to 2pm on:

• Tuesday, Dec 10
• Thursday, Dec 12
• Friday, Dec 13
• Sunday, Dec 15, and
• Tuesday, Dec 17

How You Can Continue to Help 

1. Collect New Toys and Gifts

- Donate an unwrapped toy from our updated Wish List and drop it off at Beth-El. 

- Purchase a gift from our Amazon list and have it shipped directly to us. 

- Donate funds to help cover shipping fees for a bulk order of toys from Good360. 

HOT TIP! Have unused, new items? Consider "re-gifting" them.

2. Volunteer at La Posada

Join us in making La Posada a magical experience for families! 

Shifts are 10:30am - 2:30pm on families’ “shopping days” listed above.

- Gift Wrapping: Use your collection of wrapping paper, scissors, and tape to wrap gifts with care. 

- Assist with Shopping: Help parents select gifts while spreading holiday cheer (elf ears optional but encouraged!). 

- Host a Refreshment Station: Offer a warm treat to families as they shop.

- Coordinate a Christmas Craft Corner: Keep the little ones entertained with fun crafts while their parents shop.

Thank you for making La Posada possible. Your generosity brings hope, joy, and dignity to our community this holiday season. 

With gratitude and blessings, 

The Beth-El Team
