What Is the Stocking Stuffer Store?
The Stocking Stuffer Store is a magical place where kids ages 2–12 can shop for holiday gifts for their family and friends in a safe and friendly environment. Children shop with the help of volunteer "Personal Shoppers" who guide them through the process, ensuring a fun and memorable holiday outing. Each child will have the opportunity to select from a wide variety of gifts, all priced affordably. From trinkets for siblings to heartfelt tokens for grandparents, there’s something for everyone on their list.
Supporting a Worthy Cause
All proceeds from the Stocking Stuffer Store go directly to benefit the Crittenton Centers, an organization that has been a cornerstone of support in our community for over 125 years. Their programs provide critical services such as crisis nursery care, family advocacy, parenting classes, and much more to local families in need.
By participating in this event, you’re not just creating holiday magic for your family—you’re helping make a difference in the lives of others.
