2024 CHRISTMAS EMPORIUM

The Christmas Emporium is a one-day event that allows parents or guardians who have been selected by Health and Wellness Elementary School (HWES) counselors to select gifts for their children providing them the blessing of joy to give gifts to their children.

 

Parents (guardians) pay $5 per child for $50 Christmas Cash which they use to shop for that child in the Southwest Store. Donated items are priced very conservatively based on Wal-Mart/Amazon prices. Gifts are wrapped and bundled for each child and a “stocking bag” is given as well.

 

Many (approximately 90) ADULT OR TEEN VOLUNTEERS are needed on Saturday, December 14th from 8 am—11:30 am. Use EMPORIUM VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP LINK or the paper forms on the communion tables. PLEASE SELECT ALL THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU'RE WILLING TO SERVE!

 

Gifts for children (babies-elementary), as well as teens are needed. (We do not need Barbies or board games like Sorry, Connect 4, Trouble, etc. this year.) Balls for all sports—boys and girls are needed. And there are more ideas on the brochure. [Actually - if you have children/teens or grandchildren, they probably know what to buy.)


BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE COMMUNION TABLES. 


If you cannot shop, you can make a monetary donation and others will shop. Collection containers for the Emporium gifts are at the office entrances.

 

Emporium Volunteers are limited to ADULTS AND TEENS, however, Mrs. Valerie has challenged Kidmin students to each purchase a $3.44 blanket from Wal-Mart for the “stocking” station at Emporium. Collection containers are at the registration stations.
