Our Goal
We understand that parents are often left with the difficult decision of paying their bills or giving their kids Christmas gifts. We want to help eliminate the stress of making that decision for some families in our community. Our desire it to allow parents to come “shop” from toys and gifts donated to the Christmas Mall by those who call Illuminate Church their home church and those in our community, to have those gifts wrapped, and then for the parents to either put their name or Santa’s name on the gifts for Christmas morning.
