What You Can Expect
You will hear from our team about the next steps, including confirming your registration and scheduling a time to visit our Holiday Pop-Up Shop during the distribution event. We will begin reviewing applications on November 15, 2025, and will begin contacting families shortly after.
To make our experience run smoothly, we are doing rolling appointment times this holiday season to prevent long wait times. We will be bringing out new toys throughout the distribution event to ensure everyone has equal access to a wide variety of available gifts.
Gift distribution will take place at East Olive Community Center, 2583 Green Road, St. Johns, MI 48879 on Dec. 9 - 11. If you need transportation assistance, we are partnered with Clinton Area Transit “Blue Bus” to help families. Call 989-224-8127 to schedule a ride.
