Christmas 2024

Christmas Stores

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 has completed is 2024 Christmas Stores, and we are so grateful for the thousands of volunteers and donors that made these events possible. Any remaining toy donations can be dropped off at our offices and we will use them in 2025. If you are seeking Christmas assistance for you or your family, please call 2-1-1 to be connected with United Way’s helpline.

  • 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.
