For those who haven’t experienced the magic of Christmas Cottage in the community, Christmas Cottage is a GRACE program that provides new, unwrapped gifts to families facing financial hardship due to limited income or recent emergency. Each qualified family is given a hypothetical “budget” that allows the parents to “purchase” donated toys, home goods and appliances in a private, store-like setting. This unique approach allows families to budget their resources and select unique presents while preserving the family’s dignity. Over 2,700 individuals and families are served each holiday season.
Providing warmth and comfort this season not only allows families facing hardship to uphold cherished traditions; Christmas Cottage is designed to continue a legacy of giving and instill new traditions for your family, community group or business.
This noble endeavor of giving a meaningful Christmas to children relies heavily on those traditions, many of which were forged through the community’s desire to extend their blessings with those who are struggling this season.
The volunteers, donors and corporate partners that make Christmas Cottage special for so many each year is a testimony to our wonderful GRACE family. The hundreds of service hours, thousands of unwrapped gifts and countless batches of cookies make a profound impact on families in need of hope.
Gifts can be dropped off at Donation Station or GRACE Main, 610 Shady Brook Dr. in Grapevine. The Christmas Cottage Program will be open from December 8-22.
