Christmas 2025
Christmas Store
CSL’s Christmas Stores are a long-time tradition to provide Christmas assistance to our neighbors in need. Our events allow parents to find a toy or gift for their children to open on Christmas day that otherwise would not have a gift.

CSL relies on volunteers to make a successful Christmas Store for our neighbors! There are many openings preparing for the store, and during the store at various times during the week.

This sign-up is for Independence residents. Parents/legal guardians may sign up their children to pick out a gift/toy for Christmas. Families will also receive other Christmas items as available.
Sign-ups will begin on November 12, 2025. Independence residents will need to take a picture of a current utility bill and upload it with their online registration.
If you are not an Independence resident, please visit cslcares.org/locations to find a CSL location near you. If you are outside these areas, contact United Way by dialing 2-1-1 to find Christmas assistance near you.
