What is the Christmas Store?
The Christmas Store is a community-led initiative that offers parents in Lynchburg a dignified way to shop for their children during the holiday season at 80–90% off retail prices.
Rather than receiving pre-packed bags of donated toys, families are invited into a festive “store” where they can choose meaningful gifts for their children. This model not only empowers parents, but also strengthens community connection. All proceeds go directly back into the neighborhood center where the store is held, supporting initiatives that extend well beyond the holidays.
WHO DOES THE CHRISTMAS STORE SERVE?
In partnership with Lynchburg Parks & Recreation, the Christmas Store will serve all six neighborhood centers:
DANIEL'S HILL CENTER
317 Norwood Dr.
Lynchburg, VA
COLLEGE HILL CENTER
811 Jackston St.
Lynchburg, VA
FAIRVIEW CENTER
3621 Campbell Ave.
Lynchburg, VA
DIAMOND HILL CENTER
1005 17th Street
Lynchburg, VA
YODER CENTER
109 Jackston St.
Lynchburg, VA
JEFFERSON PARK
405 N York St.

Families are personally invited through local partners and we are not opening public sign-ups.
This ensures the effort remains relational, neighborhood-based, and intentional.
The Heart
We believe every parent deserves the joy of choosing gifts for their children, not just receiving handouts. The Christmas Store is about more than toys. It’s about dignity, choice, and community.
When parents walk through our doors, they’re not just shopping, they’re being seen, honored, and celebrated. The steep discount makes it possible for families to participate meaningfully, while also ensuring that donations have lasting local impact. Your generosity brings joy to kids and uplifts parents in the process.
