Creating theSpirit of Christmas
Year round, amazing retail partners, local community groups and individual donations fill the shelves of the Christmas Store with new gifts. These donations filter through the hands of our dedicated volunteers who meet weekly to unpack, sort and stock the shelves for each shopping season. Each year we provide hygiene products, clothing, toys and household items to our neighbors needing help with their Christmas.

Are You a Bargain Shopper?Stock the Shelves
At Catholic Charities Christmas Store we work year-round to fill our store shelves to bring Christmas cheer to families in our community. Each year we help nearly 500 families with Christmas presents during the holiday season, but it wouldn't be possible without help from generous donors.
Please call Danielle Elkins to drop-off items for donation at 812-605-3441.
Help us stock our shelves with Winter Clearance items! Now is the time when you can help more for much less!

Their Story isOur Story
"I have two teenage sons, but I am also the legal guardian of my grandchildren. My husband is out of work and I don't make enough to have extra for gifts. Without you, these kids wouldn't have a Christmas."

"My son and I are blessed because of you all..."
...It’s just me and my 13-year-old autistic son, and Catholic Charities has helped us out since we moved here to Terre Haute in 2015. We love to shop at the Christmas Store. When I walk in, I feel truly cared for. When you don’t have loved ones to receive any gifts from, it’s so nice to have something for myself and for my son. God bless you all. Terre Haute is lucky to have you here in this community.”

"Items that so many of us take for granted."
“The need for hygiene products is not an easy topic for our shoppers to admit. But I think there is value in trying to get our community to understand that the Christmas Store is about basic needs – basic items that so many of our families just don’t have the ability to purchase for themselves, items that so many of us take for granted.”
